If you transfer or are promoted, your salary must be increased to the minimum salary of the range for the classification of the new position. Because of length of service, you may already be above the minimum salary for the new position. In that case, the department, in consultation with the Office of Human Resources, may decide that your experience and background are sufficient to warrant a salary above the minimum. If you transfer or are reassigned to a position with a lower classification, your salary will be subject to review and may be reduced. Compensation - Withholdings and Deductions Paychecks are distributed to offices on the last working day of each month and cannot be issued prior to the normal pay date.
Paychecks are subject to the deductions authorized by the individual or required by law.
Presently, the University is required by law to deduct Federal Income Tax, Social Security Tax, Pennsylvania State Personal Income Tax, City of Pittsburgh Earned Income Tax, City of Pittsburgh School Tax, local earned income tax for municipalities where University facilities are located, City of Philadelphia Wage Tax, and Occupational Privilege Tax. The filing of this form with the Payroll Department will suppress the withholding of the City of Pittsburgh Earned Income Tax from non-city residents. In such cases, the payment of local tax is your responsibility. You may elect to have your paycheck deposited on the scheduled payday by the University directly to your account in an approved banking institution. Deposits can be made in only one banking institution and in only one account in the banking institution.
