Flexible benefits might include medical, dental, and vision premiums that you pay, as well as any medical reimbursement account, and dependent care reimbursement account contributions. The center section of your Payroll Advice illustrates OSU's benefits cost, including the premiums for employee health care, employee life, as well as the cost for Social Security, Medicare, and retirement contributions. Not every employee is enrolled in all options, so the OSU-paid contributions will be distributed according to your particular situation. The money is not credited to your account. In addition, non-exempt employees may accrue compensatory leave in lieu of overtime.
Faculty accrue sick leave only.
If you are paid monthly, the leave earned represents the current pay period but the leave taken represents the prior pay period. In such a case, the pay period ending dates will be different. For employees paid bi-weekly, all leave information should reflect the current pay period, in which case the dates are the same. Since the pay system will not permit an employee to be paid for more leave than is reflected on the Payroll Advice, it is important to check leave balances regularly. If you find an error and get it corrected prior to calculation of the next pay cycle, you can avoid pay problems.
