Barbri Company ordinarily pays its employees on a weekly basis. Recently, one of the employees, Bernard Nagle, was sent from the home office on a three-week rip. Nagle has now returned to the office, and you are preparing a single check covering his three-week services.
Should you withhold federal income taxes on the total gross earnings for the three-week period, or should you compute the federal income taxes as if Nagle were receiving three separate weekly wage payments?
