If a company pays its employees monthly, but due to the amount withheld, is required to pay LDR semi-monthly, how would the first payment of the month be handled?


If you did not withhold income taxes during a remittance period, then you do not have to make a payment. However, if you do not withhold income taxes during the last remittance period of a quarter, you still need to file a Form L-1 and pay any taxes due after reconciling the quarter. For example, if you withhold no income taxes during the first 15 days of the month, then you do not have to make a payment for the first half of the month.
