Got my first paycheck at MS today, and noticed that I was charged Social security tax and Medicare and a WA Family Insurance Tax. Is this expected? Or should I be emailing payroll?
You will get it back when you file a return. You can also let payroll know to not deduct it in your future paychecks.
WRONG. DO NOT WAIT for tax returns. Email your payroll right now. They can fix it right away. If you do it while filling returns, they ask you to get proof that your payroll can't fix it now (Usually when year closes for your company and ledgers are done). It's a stupid process and extra paperwork, your payroll can easily fix it.
I've emailed them, had filled the fica exemption document too. Hopefully they resolve it and refund stuff. Extra paperwork sounds pretty unappealing!
Apply for a FICA exemption. There must be an internal process to do this. They will not deduct from future pay cycles and also probably refund the amount in the next cycle.
I actually did do this. Filled the form to claim exempt because been in US for less than 5 calendar years. Seems to have been a mistake somewhere.
They deduct for the current cycle, but will not deduct from the future cycles. I guess that’s how it works.
This happened to me last year. I didn't even notice. But payroll department refunded the FICA withholding in my next paycheck.
It depends if you have stayed in the U.S over a certain amount of time, you’ll be come tax resident. Then you have to pay medicare tax and all that fun stuff Americans have to pay..
5 calendar years. Applied to me because I did undergrad.
It's based on time and status. Time on F1 status is exempted.
Resolved. Payroll confirmed refund in the next cycle. Thanks all!

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Email your payroll dept. They will refund the amount and stop it being deducted from your next paychecks.
