With open enrollment complete, employees are encouraged to verify that their elections are accurate by reviewing their first January statement of earnings.
The first pay date in 2018 for bi-weekly staff is Jan. 10, 2018. Because the pay period for the Jan. 10 check is entirely in 2017 (Dec. 17-30), there are some things to be aware of regarding benefit deductions on that check:
- Benefits payroll deductions will reflect the updated 2018 rates starting on the Jan. 10 check unless you made certain changes to your medical, dental or vision election for 2018.
- If you changed plans (e.g. EPO to EHDHP) or enrolled in a benefit for the first time (including FSA and HSA), you will not have deductions taken for those benefits on the Jan. 10 check. You will have a double deduction taken on the Jan. 24 check, so please plan accordingly.
- No payroll deductions for FSA Limited or HSA will be taken on the Jan. 10th check because those benefits are new in 2018.
Please contact the Benefits Team with questions (414) 288-7305 or benefits@marquette.edu.
