Multiple (Summer) Deductions for Unclassified Nine-Month Appointees
May 20, 2010

UW Unclassified appointees (Academic Staff, Faculty, Graduate Assistants, and Employees-in-Training) who have nine-month (academic year) appointments and certain other Unclassified employees who are expected to return to UW employment in the Fall will have multiple insurance deductions taken from May earnings (payable June 1) so that insurance coverage continues through the summer months. Since most insurance premiums are paid in advance of coverage, the additional three deductions from May earnings (for June, July and August) will maintain coverage until deductions resume with September earnings.

Multiple deductions are not taken for Tax-Sheltered Annuities, Deferred Compensation or the Employe Reimbursement Account (ERA) program. Deductions for these programs will automatically resume on the October 1 pay check.

If you are a UW Unclassified appointee with a nine-month appointment, and you work during the summer, you will not have multiple insurance deductions taken from May earnings.

Please contact your benefits office if you have questions about the Multiple (summer) deductions.
