Biweekly checks to be issued March 13, 2009, as well as the monthly checks to be issued on March 31, 2009, will reflect the new tax tables provided by IRS. These new tables have been developed due to changes to the tax law made in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The IRS asked that employers begin using these tables in lieu of the applicable previously published tables as soon as possible, but no later than April 1, 2009.
