Dec. 31 is the third payday of the month
Due to the New Year’s Day holiday, the next payday will be on Wednesday, Dec. 31. This will also be the third payday of the month. If you view your paystub in PeopleSoft, you may see that the net dollar amount of your Dec. 31 paycheck is larger because not all deductions are taken out. For example, Deferred Compensation, supplemental insurance premiums, Benefit Access Fees, and Employee Giving donations will not be deducted from this check.
Note: Next year, Deferred Compensation contributions will be deducted every pay period—even on three-payday months. To make changes to your Deferred Compensation Plan, contact T. Rowe Price at 888-457-5770.
While you are in in PeopleSoft, it’s a good time to complete the following important tasks:
- View or print your W-2 by choosing the Payroll tile and View W-2/W-2c Forms.
- Review your W-4 and make sure it’s up to date. You can update your W-4 by selecting the Payroll tile, then W-4 Tax Information.
- Check your personal information, and make sure it’s correct. Go to the Personal Details tile, make sure all items are current—especially your mailing address and email—and save any changes.
For more information about your paycheck, go to Payroll or speak with your department Payroll representative or timekeeper.
