Employers Must
Report Workers'
Earnings to SS
Eugene Rawls, district man
ager, Social Security Administ
ration. in Atlanta, said today
that all employers who have
employees working at jobs
covered by social security are
required to report their earn
ings accurately and promptly.
He said many employers think
it is not important to report
earnings when a worker only
earns “a little bit”. But this
"little bit” may be the factor
which determines whether the
worker's family gets social
security benefits when the
worker retires, dies, or becomes
disabled.
Mr. Rawls said there are
three employer classifications.
(1) Employers who operate a
trade or business; (2) House
wives who have domestic
workers in and around their
homes; and (3) Farm operators
who hire farm hands.
"All these employers should
ask that the worker show his
social security card when he is
hired,” Mr. Rawls said. "You,
as the employer should put in
your permanent records the
name and social security
number exactly as they are
shown on the card. You will
need these two items when you
report the worker’s earnings to
Internal Revenue Service.”
An employer who operates a
trade or business should keep a
record of all wages PAID with
in a calendar quarter, Mr.
Rawls added. During the month
following the end of the quart
er, the employer prepares a re
port of wages paid to each
worker on Form 941, which is
available at the Internal Re
venue Office.
Mr. Rawls explained that a
calendar quarter is a three
month period. January, Feb
ruary, and March make up the
first quarter, and the three 3-
month periods following make
up the second, third, and fourth
quarters. The maximum a
mount of wages to be reported
for one worker in a single cal
endar year is S4BOO, but there
is no minimum amount -- any
wages paid to an employee in
covered work must be reported.
Housewives, however, report
the actual cash wages paid to a
household worker only if the
worker is paid SSO or more in
the quarter. Room and board
do not count but carfare counts
if paid in cash. Household
workers are reported on the
household report form, which
is available from the social
security office or the Internal
Revenue Office.
Mr. Rawls emphasized that
farm employers have a differ
ent set of rules to follow. Farm
wages are reported only once a
year. If the farmer pays $l5O
or more cash wages to a farm
worker in a year, and total
wages of each of his farm
workers who met the above re
quirements during the preced
ing year. He must send his re
port and taxes to Director of
Internal Revenue.

DeKalb Area Technical School
Offers Many Skilled Courses
The DeKalb Area Technical
School will open this fall in a
j new $3 million facility.
Jim Cherry, DeKalb School
Superintendent, announced
i that the new plant, located on
I Indian Creek Drive, will house
twenty programs for the train
ing of persons for skilled and
technician level jobs.
“The new school plant con
tains more than 100,000 square
feet of floor space and will pro
vide facilities for approximate
' ly 700 full time day students,
j and approximately 1500 even
, ing students,” Mr. Cherry said.
According to Mr. Cherry the
\ school has three major func
i tions:
1. To prepare recent high
school graduates and others
who meet entrance require
! merits for employment in in
dustry at the skilled and tech
i nician level.
2. To provide the employed
worker an opportunity to up
grade himself in his present
position by taking courses to
extend his knowledge of his
particular vocation or trade.
3. To provide the worker
displaced by automation, an
opportunity to learn new skills.
Paul Lowery, Director of the
school, reported that during the
past school year a total of 442
students was enrolled in the
technical school, which was
housed in temporary quarters
on East Ponce de Leon Avenue.
The courses were spread over
I many occupational areas, from
(computer programming to
j drafting and blueprint reading.
I Courses offered at the school
. are classified in two general
categories, technical programs,
2 years in length; and skilled
and service programs, from one
to two years in length.
"To be eligible for the tech
nician training programs, app
licants must be high school
graduates or the equivalent.
They must also make qualify
ing scores on an aptitude test
battery,” Lowery said.
"These courses are offered
to help alleviate the severe
, shortage of technicians, which
exists throughout the state and
i nation due to technological
| developments and automation
in industry.”
Students for the skilled cour
ses will be selected on the basis
of aptitude, as indicated by an
aptitude test, on educational
background on maturity and on
a personal interview.
Lowery said that these cour
ses are designed to train per
sons to fill the many openings
in industry, and at the same
time, aid those persons to find
job security who may or may
not have skills.
The new school will have the
. latest in electronic, electrical,
scientific, mechanical, chemi
cal, data processing, automo
tive and office equipment.
There is no tuition charge for
any of the courses, but students
are required to buy their books
and supplies, which amount to
approximately SIOO per year in
day school and somewhat less
in evening school due to a
shorter, course length.
Mr. Owen Sterner, school
counselor, will assist the stud
ent in selecting a program com
mensurate with his aptitude
