Some federal regs you should know
Paid holidays. Under federal law, paying part-time and summer help for holidays is optional any time of year.
Paid vacation. No law requires paid vacation, but if you give paid vacation, some federal and state laws apply.
Benefits. Providing health insurance or other benefits to temporary and part-time employees is optional; if not available, it should be so stated in a written benefits plan.
Federal W-4. Obtain from all summer employees, even students working part-time and foreign students.
FIT. Withhold from all summer employees unless their W-4 results in no withholding.
FICA. Withhold from all workers, even those receiving Social Security benefits and high school students, unless under 18 working for sole-owner parents.
Overtime pay under federal law. Due for hours actually worked over 40 hours in the workweek, but not required for paid time-off (holidays and vacation days). Do not try to substitute paid nonwork hours for work hours to make all hours straight time, thus avoiding overtime pay.
