They need to withhold the correct amount or else they're violating the law. You could have other earned income not from an employer that you have to pay quarterly separately. Basically this is usually from self-employment activities.

It is also municipality based and not county-based as the tax rates are set by municipalities and the earned income tax goes to the municipalities, not the counties.

good recall. https://employeebenefits.co.uk/bank-new-york-mellon-stock-plan-51000-employees/

What this means I don't know... (i.e., what the up and downsides are)

For instance, the stock is restricted, so getting equity from it is harder than unrestricted shares. Are they doing this to be nice and "motivate their employees since they now have an ownership stake" or are they doing this b/c it's cheaper than paying them more, and they want to pat themselves on the back that they're being nice to their employees while not giving raises or cutting salaries or jobs?

I'm not sure higher pay means you do less sneaky shit, honestly.

I know it's not directly comparable, but there's a study that looked at people stealing office supplies from work, and it's the higher paid people who did that.

I also think it's an access thing -- if you have easy access, you'll be more tempted to do it, no matter what you're paid.

And in terms of altruism, data shows that people who make less money, on average, contribute a higher % of their income to charity than higher wage earners.

oh, u/1ll1l1ll1l1l1l1l1ll1, look it's on the FAQ for the county, so they must get asked this question al ot--

My neighbor has moved out and uses his former home as a rental property. It still has a Homestead Exclusion on it. Is that legal?

No, the owner must use the property as his/her primary residence to qualify for the Homestead Exclusion. We can research that information for you.
