As the University will be operating under Adverse Weather Condition 2 (Suspended Operations) on Friday September 14 which is a biweekly pay date, I am writing to inform you of changes associated with that pay date.

As fall hiring season is not far away, this is a reminder that new employees (including student employees) will need to act if they want to change their tax withholding from the default status. Verifying their state and federal tax withholding allowances should be done online using the Connect Carolina SelfService menu. Please advise them of the information below.

Upon hire, the federal and state tax withholding for all new employees is set to marital status = Single and number of personal allowances = 0 (zero). If an employee wants to claim Single and 0 (zero) for both federal and state tax allowances, the employee does not need to do anything. If the employee wants to claim something other than Single and 0 (zero), the employee will need to make the change online by accessing the employee’s federal and state of North Carolina income tax withholding forms (W-4 and NC-4 forms) through SelfService after the individual has ConnectCarolina access.

A Time Information Management (TIM) outage and system update is expected to take place beginning Friday, July 27. The system will be down from 6 p.m., Friday, July 27 until Noon, Sunday, July 29.

Each year information is provided to explain the method used to calculate your biweekly regular pay. The calculation method used each fiscal year appropriately calculates your regular biweekly pay. Since the 26 biweekly payrolls cover a different time period than the University’s fiscal year, it is important to explain how your biweekly regular pay is calculated.

Graduate students may be hired for a semester, academic year, calendar year, or other periods as needed.

Starting with the July 6, 2018 paychecks, a 1.2% fee will be assessed each pay period on the earnings funding sources of all leave eligible SHRA and EHRA Non-Faculty employees to fund the Central Pool for Terminal Leave Payouts.

Beginning with the February 16, 2018, biweekly paycheck, all biweekly and monthly paychecks subject to federal tax withholdings reflect the 2018 federal tax withholding rates issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A Withholding Calculator can help employees estimate their 2018 annual income tax liability, and based on its recommendations, can help prevent too little or too much income tax from being withheld. The withholding calculator compares the annual income tax estimate to the employee’s current income tax withholding and can help them decide if they need to change their withholding. Employees using the calculator will find it helpful to have their completed 2017 tax return accessible and most recent paystub. Employees are also encouraged to contact their tax professional should they have questions on how to accurately complete the information contained on the withholding calculator.

The Budget, Planning & Analysis office has rolled out an enhanced Dual Employment Payment Request Form.

Beginning with the February 16, 2018, biweekly paycheck, all biweekly and monthly paychecks subject to federal tax withholdings will reflect the 2018 federal tax withholding rates issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
