Frequently Asked Questions

Who should I contact regarding an IRS 1099 form?

For questions about 1099's, you should contact the Controller's Office at 721-6049.

Who should I contact with questions about the monthly financial reports (i.e. AC250)?

For questions related to the monthly AC250 report, you should contact Financial Accounting at 721-2136.

What is the maximum number of annual leave days I can carry forward and/or get paid for upon termination?

The maximum number of annual leave days any employee (faculty or staff) can carry forward is 45 days or 360 hours.  This is also the limit that you can be paid for after termination.

Who should I contact regarding check requests?

For questions regarding check requests, you should contact Accounts Payable at 721-0010.

How long does it take for direct deposit to take effect?

Direct deposit requests will take effect 14 days after the PAR cutoff date regardless of when you completed and submitted the request.  Occasionally a payroll will run before the 14 days have past, and you will receive a check. 

Why did my FICA tax increase in January?

This could occur for two reasons:
1. Some employees reach the limits set by the IRS for FICA maximums.  Once an employee reaches the limit, FICA tax is no longer deducted from the payroll check.  FICA limits start over every January; therefore, FICA tax could be higher in January than in previous months.
2. FICA tax rate increases take effect in January.  

Why is leave time on my calendar incorrect?

Leave time on calendars do not reflect any leave recorded or accrued in the prior month. Your check or direct deposit advice contains current information.  

Why is there a deduction (increase) in the adjustments section of my check when I received a pay increase (decrease) mid-month?

Our payroll system can not currently prorate your salary.  If you receive a pay increase, our system pays based on the new rate for the entire month, and we adjust (deduct) the difference for the period in which your increase was not in effect.  If you receive a decrease, our system pays based on the new rate for the entire month, and we adjust (increase) the difference  for the period in which the decrease was not in effect.  

Who should I contact to request a Purchasing card?

To request a Pcard you should contact Purchasing at 721-9441.

Who should I contact when I have a problem with a Purchasing card?

For problems with your Pcard you should contact the Purchasing at 721-4583.  

Why does the pre-payroll list not show pay increases or decreases accurately?

Our current payroll system will not allow for prorating salaries; therefore, salaries reflected are either the old or the new depending on the date of the report.  Adjustments will be made to prorate the salary as necessary before the final payroll processes.

Who should I contact regarding a 1099 form for Teacher's Retirement?

For questions regarding 1099's from Teacher's Retirement you should contact TRS directly at 1-800-352-0650.

Who should I contact regarding W-2's?

For questions on Exempt (monthly) W-2's you should contact Payroll at 721-0020.

For questions on Non-Exempt (bi-weekly) W-2's you should contact Payroll at 721-0019.  

Why is my W-2 gross amount different from my last pay stub in December?

Your W-2 is adjusted for both tax exempt and taxable insurance amounts.  W-2's reflect taxable gross income for the previous year.
