These permits are free to faculty and staff and issued in the Business Office. 16. Payroll Administration The following is an explanation of the salary plan administered: 16.1 Contracts & Notification of Salary Benefited faculty receive an annual contract with a start date of one week prior to the first day of classes and an end date of the Monday following graduation. Benefited staff receive an annual Notification of Salary for the fiscal year, July 1-June 30. Payroll is distributed via direct deposit semi-monthly. If an account is unavailable for direct deposit a paycheck will be provided. If a pay day is on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the preceding workday shall be pay day. The paycheck will be released to the employee only. Written authorization to have an alternate pick up the paycheck must be completed stating the name of the person authorized. The required deductions of federal and state taxes, social security, and retirement are deducted from each paycheck. Optional deductions such as life insurance, FlexComp, etc. are also deducted over the salary period. For personal budgeting, employees on a less than 12-month agreement may opt into a 9-over-12 payment program. The current payroll system for the NDUS allows this flexibility. The 9-over-12 Pay Program form must be completed with the Payroll Specialist to opt into this payment option. 16.2 Fringe Benefits Details are available in a Summary of Benefits for DCB Benefited Faculty and DCB Benefited Staff on the Faculty and Staff page of the DCB website. 16.3 Tax Annuities Salary reductions can be made for individual tax-sheltered annuities. 16.4 Income Projections TIAA and NDPERS offer retirement support enabling calculation of hypothetical income illustrations based on a participant’s retirement plan accumulation, tax-deferred annuity plan (SRA) accumulation, or both. They may also calculate and assist with transfers, and changes in allocations, earnings rates, and contribution levels.
