It USED to be that when employees underwithheld or declared themselves
exempt from taxation, if the feds couldn't ultimately collect the amount due
from the employee, they extracted it from the employer.  This means that if
the employee has no tax withheld and doesn't file a return, his employer is
liable for the tax he SHOULD have collected at the maximum rate.  I doubt if
that rule has changed. 

Under those circumstances, few employers would allow employees of
questionable tax-trustworthiness to underwithhold.
