Direct deposit of pay is also offered. Application forms are available in the Human Resources Department. In addition, a faculty member who has active membership in STRS at the time service begins at Wright State University must also continue that membership during the period of the WSU appointment regardless of the number of hours taught. This action has sheltered the employee contribution to STRS from current federal and Ohio income taxation. Questions concerning employer and employee contributions to STRS should be directed to the employee benefits staff in the Department of Human Resources.
All faculty members are subject to federal, state, and municipal income tax laws.
The university is required by law to withhold from salaries for these taxes. Only employees who are legal and permanent residents of the states whose borders join Ohio can waive payment of Ohio state income tax and pay income tax in their home state. Municipal income tax shall be withheld for the municipality in which teaching is done and the municipality of residence, when applicable. Faculty members assigned to the main campus are required to pay the effective Fairborn income tax. Those assigned to branch campuses or other centers pay the effective municipal income tax, if any, of the locality where they are teaching.
