$30 cash bonus/gift payment

[jhoh2000]

Client wants to pay year-end bonuses/gift (In cash) ranging from $30 to $100 for about 20 employees. It seems to me they STILL need to do the payroll with proper SS and medi-care withholdings. But, are there any alternatives for these cash payments other than doing payroll (withholding SS and Medi-care)? Should she just give turkeys to her employees?

Your feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Bonuses

Cash bonuses MUST have payroll taxes withheld.

Turkeys, hams, etc. are not subject to payroll taxes.
