My wife's company charges more for benefits such as health insurance as your pay increases. Y'all might be dealing with something similar.

UPDATE: they had to tax some "reward points" he was recently granted for a job well done. He revived a "free" 55 inch Samsung smart hd TV with the points, but I guess in the end it wasn't that free after all. Still a good deal though.
Well, mystery solved. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Happened to me as well. Got Bose Headphones as a reward, then saw that I was taxed for it on my next check

My previous company that did little perks like this would usually add a gross-up amount in my next pay check to cover the amount they had to withhold to keep me whole.

He did handle it, Sherlock. That's how the mystery was solved. When I originally posted the question it was on Sunday and I was tired of listening to him bitch about it and worry about it. I thought by coming to the money board, maybe it could open up some possibilities of what this could be so I could give him a piece of mind until he called his HR department.

I've done this before with two different companies and they would just send my a 1099 MISC at the end of the year. No money was taken out of my check but I did have to pay for it come tax season. I've gotten a lot of "free" stuff this way. It usually works out to a little under half price.

My employer does this, however they gross up our paychecks to cover the taxes as well.
