Leora is not an employee. The employer does not provide a work place or tools. No one directly supervises her activities. She has the freedom to decide when the work is to be done and how it is to be done. 2. Ken is an employee, paid on an hourly basis by Dr. Kent, who provides all facilities, tools, and equipment. He is not hired by the patients for professional services. 3. Jones is not an employee. A self-employed person cannot be his or her own employee. 4. Guy is probably not an employee. He has the right to refuse jobs, which is not characteristic of an employee s rights. 5. Peoples is definitely a part-time employee. The titles of president, secretary, and treasurer make her officially an employee. Analyze: Both employees are hired and work under the control and direction of the employer. The employer determines how the employee completes the job. Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Chapter
10 Critical Thinking Problem 1. Payroll information needed: the hourly rate paid the truck drivers; the rates for social security, medicare, and federal and state unemployment taxes; and the employer s obligations for workers compensation insurance and fringe benefits such as health insurance, pension contributions, and group life insurance. YEARLY COST CURRENT SYSTEM 2. Truck Drivers: Wages (110 x $48,000) $5,280,000 Social Security Tax ($5,280,000 x.062) 327,360 Medicare Tax ($5,280,000 x.0145) 76,560 State Unemployment Tax (110 x $7,000 x.05) 38,500 Federal Unemployment Tax (110 x $7,000 x.008) 6,160 Workers Compensation Insurance ($5,280,000 x $ ) 36,960 Health Insurance (110 x $310 x 12) 409,200 Pensions (110 x $250 x 12) 330,000 Total Payroll Costs $6,504,740 Teenage Carriers: Payment per paper (90,000 x $0.04 x 5 days x 52 weeks) 936,000 Liability Insurance 110,000 Total Cost $7,550,740 YEARLY COST PROPOSED SYSTEM Truck Drivers: Wages (30 x $48,000) $1,440,000 Social Security Tax ($1,440,000 x ) 89,280 Medicare Tax ($1,440,000 x.0145) 20,880 State Unemployment Tax (30 x $7,000 x 0.05) 10,500 Federal Unemployment Tax (30 x $7,000 x.008) 1,680 Workers Compensation Insurance ($1, x $ ) 10,080 Health Insurance (30 x $310 x 12) 111,600 Pensions (30 x $250 x 12) 90,000 Total Payroll Costs $1,774,020 Independent Contractor Payments (90,000 x $.20 x 5 days x 52 weeks) 4,680,000 Total Cost $6,454,020 Davis would save $1,096,720 if the proposed system were adopted ($7,550,740 $6,454,020). NOTE: Federal income tax withholding is not a factor in this analysis since it is the employee s obligation, not the employer s. 3. In addition to analyzing payroll costs, Davis should consider costs of operating the fleet of delivery trucks. What is the current cost to operate the trucks? How much would be saved by reducing the fleet? She should also consider the effect on employee morale of terminating 75 truck drivers and the commitments the paper has to union contracts. She should also assess the dependability and stability of the independent contractors; it may be worthwhile to spend more in order to have control of the paper s distribution system through its own employees and trucks. Business Connections Managerial Focus 1. Only authorized persons able to add new employees to payroll; review of payroll by different employee; distribution of paychecks by yet another person. 2. Premiums for workers compensation insurance are based on the amount earned by classes of employees. 3. Penalties and fines for the employer. 4. Experience rating is a potential source of tax savings. 272 Chapter 11 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
11 Ethical Dilemma Johan is paying $1,720 more per month for wages. The extra expense represents an additional employee that he did not hire. He should consult his accountant to find the approval for an additional sales associate. To prevent this from happening in the future, he should pass out the paychecks personally to match the paycheck to the person. Streetwise 1. Current liability category: Accrued Salaries and Related Expenses. 2. Advantages: Current employees will be familiar with processes and culture of the business. Disadvantage: Restricts the infusion of new ideas and talents. Financial Statement Analysis % 2. $53,906, % increase 02 03; 16.0% increase Analyze Online: Answers will vary depending on the year. Extending the Thought Answers will vary. Students may agree that businesses must collectively contribute to national and state funds for unemployment regardless of the layoff record of the business. Some may contend that if a business has not fired workers, they should not be taxed. Business Communication Students memos will vary, but should include the forms and journals covered in the chapter. Team Work Hire temporary employees for jobs that occur seasonally. Only pay 98% of deposit required. The IRS states that 98% is considered in compliance. Stop any unnecessary overtime by requiring management approval for all overtime. Internet Connection The 940 and 941 form is available to download and use.
