If the employees are indeed being charged a % fee, the employer should be increasing the payments so that the employees get the gross pay they were promised (or specify from the very beginning that the employee is responsible for the Paypal % fee). If you offer your employees a certain wage, but actually pay them 2-5% less, that could be illegal.
