Payroll will refund excess
Federal or State taxes withheld.
Truth: Withheld Federal and State taxes are paid to the jurisdiction
for which they were withheld. Recovery of excess taxes is the responsibility of
the individual tax payer through the filing of tax returns.
Approved hours determine gross wages, not scheduled hours.
Truth: While approved hours represent the number of hours
to be paid, the rate (e.g. Regular, Overtime Standard, or Overtime Premium) is
driven by scheduled hours compared to actual hours worked.
The Bank Routing Number for my Direct Deposit is on the
deposit slip.
Truth: While standards exist for the placement of bank routing
numbers on personal checks, the same is not true for deposit slips. If you are
requesting direct deposit to any account without checks, it is very important
to confirm the routing number with the specific branch location where the account
resides.
I should contact Payroll to correct benefit deductions
that are wrong.
Truth: Benefit deduction requests are received by Payroll
directly from the groups responsible for administering the benefits and will not
be processed through individual requests. Contact the Benefits Hotline for all
your benefit questions.
Payroll will create an off-cycle check if my paperwork
hasn't been processed.
Truth: It is the responsibility of the departments to submit
paperwork in a timely fashion to Payroll. Complete and accurate documents received
by published deadlines will be entered for the pay cycle. With the exception of
unusual situations with prior approval, off-cycle checks will not be generated
for transactions that did not meet these requirements.
Payroll will create an off-cycle check if my approved
hours aren't correct.
Truth: For non-exempt employees, Payroll will not generate
off-cycle checks for hours that are not entered and approved.
The reason I was incorrectly terminated is because Payroll
entered incorrect termination information.
Truth: When job records are created, start and end dates for
the job are entered per the approved request. PeopleSoft automatically terminates
jobs that reach the end of the appointment date. Departments are responsible for
reviewing pending automatic terminations and requesting extensions to those appointments
where appropriate. Interim terminations are only done through approved termination
requests.
