Optional payments.
If an employee can receive an additional payment only on the condition of taking an action other than providing service to the employer, the payment is not for services rendered and is not reportable compensation.
Example: | An employer offers to make a contribution to a deferred compensation plan on behalf of an employee only if the employee agrees to defer a portion of his or her salary. Because the employee does not have a right to receive the contribution based solely on the rendering of service, the employer payment is not reportable compensation. |
