Conditions of Employment
Paychecks
The amount of salary an employee earns and the amount of money that the employee receives in his/her paycheck differ because of various deductions. Some of these deductions are required by law, such as FICA, federal and state taxes. Deductions, such as liens, garnishment and child support, may be directed by the courts. Voluntary deductions include the employee's portion of health insurance, tax sheltered annuities, voluntary insurance, US savings bond allotments, parking fees, charitable contributions through the Combined Virginia Campaign, deductions for the Apple Credit Union, season tickets to the Center for the Arts, season basketball tickets and Aquatic Center membership fees. Also, direct deposit is mandatory for all employees who were hired or rehired on or after February 1, 2002.
