First, if you think your gross pay (the amount before deductions) is incorrect, ask your business center payroll contact to verify the hours and rate of pay used for the pay period in question. Full time salaried employees' total hours (hours worked plus leave taken) should equal 173.33 This average is based on a standard of 2080 hours per year.

Secondly, if you believe the net pay (amount after deductions) is incorrect, consider if your taxable gross is greater than prior pay. If you have received a taxable benefit, such as a tuition reduction, the amount you are being taxed on may be increased resulting in increased withholding for federal and state taxes. Consider if you have had a change in benefits or withholding allowances. If this does not resolve your concerns, contact the Central Payroll Office.
