Extension County Operations: Employee Benefits
Tax Withholding for Multiple Paychecks
The chart below is provided to illustrate what will happen if you DO NOT make adjustments on your withholdings. Since UGA and your county withhold taxes on each check assuming that it represents your total salary, you will not have enough taxes withheld. If you need help with adjusting your withholdings after you receive your first checks from UGA and your county, contact Jessica Kirk in the Business Office at jkirk@uga.edu or (706) 542-9002.
