What is biweekly pay? • A biweekly pay cycle consists of 10 working days (2 weeks), Sunday through Saturday • Employees receive pay every 2 weeks, on every other Wednesday • Pay includes time worked, leave time used, paid overtime earned, & other “ancillary” pay (shift differential, on-call, etc.) • Leave usage is reported in current pay period • 26 paychecks per year

  4. Biweekly Pay Cycle Sample • Paycheck is issued 11 days after the pay period ends (PPE) • Pay is every other week, NOT twice a (calendar) month • Actual pay dates will vary month to month • Most months will have 2 paydays, but some will have 3

  5. Monthly & Biweekly Comparison

  6. Why move to biweekly pay? • Standardize payroll cycles across all UC locations as part of UCPath • More efficient and effective time reporting • Reduction in manual adjustments • Overtime payments will be more timely • Vacation and sick leave balances will be current

  7. Who will move to biweekly pay? Non-Exempt Employees • Currently monthly-paid employees who are eligible for overtime, shift, on-call pay • Examples: Student Affairs Officer I, Analyst II, CNT II, etc. • Hourly-paid employees who report actual time worked • Examples: (Staff) Student Assistant series, Limited appointments Transition to biweekly pay for exclusively represented employees is subject to collective bargaining. UC Path web site will provide updated information on the status of this decision pending discussions or negotiations with the exclusive representatives. http://www.pmo.ucsb.edu/projects/biweekly-pay-overview

  9. When will the first biweekly cycle begin? Sunday, January 20, 2013

  10. When will biweekly pay start?

  11. How will my pay be calculated? • Pay will be based on an hourly rate, rather than monthly • Hourly rate calculation • Monthly rate divided by 174 (average work hours/month), OR • Annual rate divided by 2088 (total work hours/year) • Examples • $3,000.00 per month ÷ 174 = $17.24 per hour • $36,000.00 per year ÷ 2088 = $17.24 per hour

  12. How will the pay schedule change affect my paycheck? • Payroll deductions will change • Percent-baseddeductions will be deducted from every paycheck • Examples: Taxes, retirement contributions, etc. • Flat-dollardeductions will be split across 2 biweekly paychecks • Examples: Insurance premiums, parking, etc. • For months with 3 pay cycles, the 3rd paycheck (paid the following month) will have NO flat-dollar deductions (but will still contain percent-based deductions). • This paycheck is referred to as a “benefit holiday” • In 2013 there will be 2 benefit holiday paychecks: • April 10 • September 11

  13. How do I prepare for the transition? • Review your personal budget and determine your income needs based upon the biweekly pay cycle. • Review and make any changes to automatic payments or deductions you have scheduled. Adjust your automatic withdrawal or bill-pay dates to align with your new pay dates. • Consider adjusting your 403(b) or 457(b) contributions temporarily during the transition period. • Use the paycheck calculator at: www.pmo.ucsb.edu/projects/biweekly-pay-overview
