It has been brought to the Unions
attention that under federal law (TEFRA notice) the company can hold
federal income tax from a pension check. If an employee doesn't want tax
withheld he/she is required to contact the company and fill out a form
stating he/she doesn't want tax withheld from their pension check
So far we have had one incident at
Century that we know about and the company said they will only correct it if
the retiree fills out the form.
