Common Earnings Statement Issues

Why can’t I print my earnings statement?

From time to time, adjustments are made through the payroll system which results in a refund to an employee
When refunds are issued off-cycle or are a refund of a prior deduction, an earnings statement is not available for printing
When you receive an email notification that funds have been deposited to your bank account and you are not able to see or print your statement, please contact the Controller's Office Solution Center.
The Controller's Office Solution Center will generate an incident ticket which is triaged to the Payroll Office and they will print one for you and send it to you as requested. Please indicate what your preference is, either by email or it can be mailed to your home address.

Why was my pretax refund taxed?

Sometimes we are asked to adjust 403b or 457b deductions, health deductions and parking deductions that were erroneously deducted from an employee’s check. Because that entire amount was taken on a pretax basis, upon refund, it now becomes taxable. Therefore, taxes area taken because that amount was not taxed previously.

How do I review my Fidelity deductions and when can I make changes?

You can make changes to or review your 403b/457b deductions and general purpose loans balances by visiting the Fidelity website.

Please be sure not to request more than 100% combined withholding. For example, sometimes employees enter 70% from 403b and 70% from 457b concurrently. This causes an error in the payroll system and results in ZERO deductions from either plan. Therefore, you will need to go back into Fidelity and change your deductions and be sure to make up the last deductions that were missed as a result of the over 100% contribution request.
