PHILADELPHIA - July 29, 2009 Nutter says city employees who owe back taxes have 30 days to
settle their debt or make payment arrangements before the city
starts docking their pay. Nutter says the city will withhold 20
percent of pay checks to cover the debt as quickly as possible.
City officials say about 1,300 city employees are in arrears.
Nutter says the city will also implement a requirement that all
job applicants for city jobs pay their back taxes as a condition of
their employment.
City officials say the effort to recoup back taxes has already
netted about $1 million since late May.
