Rates of Pay

Your individual rate of pay is based on the skills and experience required to perform an assignment, the level of responsibility, and the length of time you have worked on an assignment.

At Mack Staffing, we pay the highest possible wages to our employees as determined by each individual job assignment. In addition, we are responsible for covering the employer’s share of your Social Security and Medicare contributions, and we pay your worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance.

Payroll Taxes

We will withhold all Federal payroll taxes (income tax, Social Security, and Medicare) and State/local payroll taxes from your paycheck. In general, the withholding of State and local taxes is based on the location of your assignment (the client’s location) rather than the location of Scientific Search’s office or of your residence.

Some states do have reciprocal agreements in regards to the withholding of income taxes. For example, if you live in Pennsylvania but have a work assignment in New Jersey, we will withhold Pennsylvania income tax rather than New Jersey. In this example, we must still withhold New Jersey unemployment and disability taxes. Similarly, if you live in New Jersey but have a work assignment in Pennsylvania, we will withhold New Jersey income tax.
