2018 Tax Reform Changes
You may notice a change to your tax withholding and net paycheck amount for pay periods beginning in February 2018. This change is due to updated Internal Revenue Service (IRS) withholding amounts based on the approved tax reform. Most employees will likely see a decrease in taxes withheld and an increase in take-home pay.
You may view your future pay by logging into WebBASIS Employee/Affiliate Access, clicking on My Pay → Future Pay→ Gross Pay (For future pay date).
The IRS is continuing to update employers on the impact of this tax reform and we will continue to monitor and update you as needed.
