The May 29 paycheck will be the third paycheck in May for WVU employees and will be considered a deduction holiday pay for 12-month, benefits-eligible employees.
Benefit deductions will not be withheld; however, the following mandatory taxes and retirement deductions will be withheld:
• Federal taxes.
• State taxes.
• Social Security.
• Medicare.
• Retirement.
• Supplemental retirements.
• Withholding orders.
For benefits-eligible employees who are working fewer than 12 months (e.g., faculty members with nine-month contracts), the deduction holiday pay occurs on their first and last pay during their contract period.
