On August 8, 2020, President Trump issued an executive order regarding the deferral of payroll tax obligations in light of the ongoing COVID-19 disaster. On August 28, 2020, the IRS released a notice providing guidance to allow employers to suspend the withholding, deposit and payment of the employees’ share of social security taxes on wages paid that are less than $4,000 per bi-weekly pay period between September 1 and December 31, 2020.
In 2021, employers will then be required to withhold the deferred amount from employee’s wages between January 1, 2021 and April 30, 2021. The deferred amounts must to be re-paid by April 30, 2021 or the IRS will assess interest and penalties.
The IRS guidance provides employers the option of whether or not to adopt this deferral. Lawrence University has opted out of this order at this time. We will keep you informed if any changes occur. If you have any questions please contact the Human Resources & Payroll Department.
This weekend the office of student activities and virtual programming will be stocking the Viking Corner with Origami paper and instructions (thank you Stephanie). Help yourself and make some cool things to decorate your room.
IT and the office of student activities have “teamed up” to bring all LU clubs and organizations a new tool to manage your activities in a virtual world. In the coming weeks a Microsoft teams account will be created for every student club and organization. With this you will be able run Zoom-like meetings, manage your members, invite non-members and store documents. Leaders and contacts for all organizations will receive an e-mail once their account is set-up. IT is in the process of developing easy to follow instructions so all groups can get the most out of Teams.
Known as the “Human IPod”, John Rush will be performing for all Lawrentians tonight at 8 PM (virtual Zoom show). Join us for the show and best of all, YOU get to pick the songs.
