Yes, and along with the pertinent payroll tax burden.
However, when separating these costs, do not also include
them in Wages and taxes on those lines.

Let me first preface this question with a statement of fact:
I know little to nothing about corporate tax law or
practices, I am not a tax professional nor am I studying to
become one, and so I apologize in advance if the answers to
my questions are so obvious as to be absurd to those far
more knowledgeable about such matters then myself. Thank you
in advance.

I have recently taken it upon myself to create a proposal
for a Employee Volunteer Program (EVP) for the corporation
with whom I'm employed. Idealy the program would work in
such a manner as to provide an X amount of paid time off to
volunteer with qualified charitable organization and
non-profits for working an X amount of regular hours. With
such a system in place would my company then be able to
deduct the cost of the paid volunteer hours as a charitable
contribution?

Thanks again!
