PPS MANUAL, SECTION C - TIME REPORTING

C3.0 CHECK STUBS AND DIRECT DEPOSIT ADVICES

There are usually three paydays each month - two biweekly (B1 and B2) and one monthly. Biweekly paydays are every other Wednesday and the monthly payday is normally the first of each month.  Refer to the current Biweekly Payroll Calendar (PDF), the Payday Calendar and/or the PPS Schedule for the actual University Paydays.

When pay is computed, the Personnel/Payroll System produces information for the employee that itemizes the following:

• the gross pay for the pay period
• the deductions that were taken
• the net pay
• UC contributions and
• various balances.

For employees who have their pay electronically deposited to their bank accounts through Direct Deposit, this information is produced on Direct Deposit advice. For most employees, the Direct Deposit advice will be mailed to the employee’s campus address on the EDB at the time of the pay compute. Employees should be encouraged to review the information displayed on the direct deposit advice.

Employees who receive paper checks will find the information listed above displayed on their paycheck stubs. All the paychecks for each department or unit on campus are packaged together by Payroll Services. These checks are either delivered to the department on payday by Campus Mail or picked up at Payroll Services window on payday by a departmental representative. Employees should also be encouraged to review the information on the paycheck stub.

Samples of a Direct Deposit Advice statement and a paycheck stub are included below. Most questions employees raise about the information on their statements concern the payroll deductions. Not all deductions are itemized on IPAY screens for departments to view because some of the individual deductions are considered personal and confidential. The IPAY screens, Direct Deposit Advices and check stubs all display information on gross earnings, total deductions and total net pay, as well as detailed information on pay type, pay rate, pay period end date and title code.

C3.1 Payroll Deductions

Flat Dollar Deductions

Flat dollar deductions are set amounts that do not change unless the employee alters the deduction or the University rate changes. They are deducted in full, once a month for monthly paid employees. For biweekly employees, flat dollar deductions are divided in half and deducted from twenty-four checks per year.

Examples of flat dollar deductions are:

For more information on Flat Dollar Benefits and the deduction holidays for biweekly paid employees, refer to Biweekly Payroll Calendar Description.

Percentage Deductions

Percentage deductions are a calculated amount based on the earnings paid to an employee. These deductions change when the employee’s earnings amount changes. They occur each time pay is generated regardless of the type of pay issued. The percentage amount does not change unless the employee completes a new form or the deduction percentage rate changes.

Examples of percentage deductions are:

Other Deduction Types

**DEPCARE deductions are flat amounts that for biweekly employees are deducted from the first biweekly check.

***AFSCME dues are 1.25% of an employee’s retirement gross up to a maximum deduction of $28.00 per month; AFT dues are either .996% or 1.096% of an employee’s retirement gross up to a maximum deduction of $48.80 per month.
