Deduction Schedule Change: January 2027 (Auxiliary, Non-Union Staff, Hourly Admin)

posted

We are writing to share that the following deductions, which are currently deducted from 26 paychecks, will be changed to deduct from 24 paychecks as of January 1, 2027. The transition is to standardize the deduction frequency among pay groups on campus.

The following deductions will be changed to deduct from 24 paychecks:

  • Health Insurance Deductions
  • Health Savings Account Deductions
  • Flex Spending Account Deductions
  • Dental Insurance
  • Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance Deductions
  • NYS Disability/Paid Family Leave Deductions
  • Group Accident Insurance Deductions
  • Group Specified Disease Insurance Deductions

For example, if you are enrolled in a health insurance plan and have $55.38 deducted from 26 biweekly paychecks (totaling $1,440 per year), then your new deduction amount will be $60.00 per biweekly paycheck ($1,440 divided by 24 pay periods).

Please note that any payment agreements with Vassar for rent, Wimpfheimer Nursery School tuition, and/or Infant Toddler Center tuition have already been adjusted to take deductions over 24 pay periods (or over the number of biweekly pay periods within your specified agreement dates).

Should you have any questions regarding the deduction frequency change, please contact humanresources@vassar.edu.
