Depending on the benefits you elected during Open Enrollment, you may notice differences in the deductions taken out of your paycheck. Benefit deductions for the new year always start on the first paycheck in January. For 2025, the benefit deductions began on the Jan. 2 paycheck.

Those in the Regular Employee Benefit Group have premium share deductions for the Regence medical plans: KingCare PPO ($75 per month) and KingCare Select ($50 per month). Pre-tax deductions for employee premium shares are split evenly and deducted from the first two paychecks of every month. The Regular Employee Benefit Group includes all non-represented employees and employees whose unions are part of the Joint Labor Management Insurance Committee (JLMIC).

In addition, most employees who cover a spouse or state-registered domestic partner on your employee medical plan will see increased deductions for your Spouse Benefit Access Fees. Spouse Benefit Access Fees are also split evenly and deducted pre-tax from the first two paychecks of each month.

To view your paystub, go to PeopleSoft, select the Payroll tile, then select the Check Date. 2025 benefit information shows in the sections for Before Tax Deductions, After Tax Deductions, and Employer Paid Benefits. For additional information, see How to read your Pay Advice.
