do wages exclude taxes
Wages are all compensation for an employeeâs personal. services, whether paid by check or cash, or by the. reasonable cash value of noncash payments, such as. meals and lodging. The method of payment, whether. by private agreement, consent, or mandate, does not. change the taxability of wages paid to employees. Payments are considered wages even if the employee. is a casual worker, a day or contract laborer, a part-time. or temporary worker, or is paid by the job, day, hour, piece rate, salary, or any other method or measurement. Supplemental payments, including bonuses, overtime.
