[SchoolFinance] PFML question

[Lisa Harkin]

I heard that PFML has the same exemptions as SUTA and FUTA, so I am
deducting Health and Dental from gross wages.
Reading your reply again, you are talking about earnings, not exemptions to
gross earnings, so Health exemptions are a completely different subject.
Apologies.

Some volunteers get paid, oxymoron, I know.
