Other employees (faculty, academic personnel, postdoctoral and academic student employees, residents and fellows, etc.) may sign in to Workday to find information on compensation and benefit choices.
My working (work) title is incorrect, how do I change it?
You may change your听. You are not able to change your payroll title, but should speak with your supervisor if you don鈥檛 think it is correct.
Can I see a statement from a different time period?
Total Compensation Statements are only available for April 1, 2020 鈥� March 31, 2021. You do have access to听, which details your contributions and deductions that have been made year-to-date.
Why was April 1, 2020 鈥� March 31, 2021 the time frame used?
This period was selected for the second release of the Total Compensation Statement, which is anticipated to be released annually in April.
Which payment dates were used for this statement?
The earnings referenced in this statement contains the information from pay dates 4/24/20 鈥� 4/9/21.
Does this include all of my jobs at the UW?
If you were in at least one regular staff position with an FTE greater than or equal to 0.5 on the final date within this statement period (March 31, 2021), the statement will include earnings and deductions for all positions you held from April 1, 2020 鈥� March 31, 2021.
I am a former 91探花Neighborhood Clinics employee. Does this statement also include my pay from April-December 2020 from the prior organization?
Earnings from UWMC from April-December 2020 are not included within this statement. The statement only includes earnings paid by UW.
I was on furlough during this time. How does this impact what I see on my statement?
鈥嬧�媃our hours worked and base pay will be reduced reflecting the time you were on furlough.
Why don鈥檛 the earnings match my most recent W-2?
Your W-2 and Total Compensation Statement reflect different time periods so the earnings shouldn鈥檛 be an exact match. The W-2 reflects information about your pay over the course of a calendar year, from January 1 through December 31. Your Total Compensation Statement includes information from April 1, 2020 鈥� March 31, 2021.
I鈥檝e changed my medical plan over this time period. Why aren鈥檛 both of my medical plans reflected?
This statement reflects only the name of the medical plan in which you were enrolled as of March 31, 2021. However, all premium contributions for all plans are included in the sums represented.
What is included in the 鈥渙ther鈥� field I see listed on my statement?
Look for the sample information in parenthesis next to the 鈥渙ther鈥� fields for an overview of what might be represented there. For a more detailed view of items contributing to your pay, check your听听in Workday.
I have declined medical coverage. Why do I see a value in this line in the column under 鈥� 91探花Contributes鈥� when this doesn鈥檛 apply to me?
Although you have declined coverage, the 91探花still pays a set amount for each employee to the Health Care Authority. For this reason, the 鈥� 91探花Contribution鈥� column includes that amount even when the 鈥淵our Contribution鈥� is $0.
Why is my HSA not showing on my statement?
Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions can be made both inside and outside of 91探花payroll systems and so we cannot give an accurate representation of your total contributions at this time. If you have questions about your balance, please visit the听.
What do the acronyms, VIP and DCP stand for?
VIP is Voluntary Investment Program and DCP stands for Deferred Compensation Program. Both are voluntary retirement programs and you may find more information about these on the听.
Do the amounts referenced for life insurance or long term disability include optional contributions as well as basic?
Yes, both optional contributions made by the employee and basic contributions made by the employer are included here and are referenced on the same line within the statement for each item.
I never use Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML), dental insurance, or another program reflected here. Can I cancel that deduction?
Benefits and taxes aligned with certain state and federal programs or requirements cannot be canceled.
Why might 91探花contribute a higher percentage to another employee鈥檚 compensation than my own?
Benefits can be highly individualized! The percentage of the 91探花contribution to your benefits varies based on the specific benefit selections you鈥檝e made from the retirement and medical options available based on your position, location, and current age. As Open Enrollment approaches, please take time to review your current selections and be sure to select the option that best meets your individual needs.
What contributes to the calculation for the percentage of UW鈥檚 contribution to my benefits?
There are five employer-sponsored benefits that contribute to this calculation: Basic Retirement, Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, and Long Term Disability. The statement takes the sum of the 91探花contributions to those components and divides it by the sum of both your contributions and UW鈥檚 contributions. This amount reflects the percentage displayed on your statement.
What contributes to the calculation for the percentage of UW鈥檚 contribution above my cash compensation?
This amount is calculated by dividing the Total Compensation number toward the bottom of the page by the amount listed in the Total Cash Compensation number toward the top. The percentage over 100 from that calculation is the amount reflected by the statement, 鈥� 91探花contributes XX% amount above cash compensation.鈥�
I think my statement may be missing an item. What should I do?
This is the first iteration of the Total Compensation Statement and not all benefits programs are included. However, all earnings and relevant deductions and contributions are included. If you have a question about a specific item, please contact听totalcomp@uw.edu.
How can I use the information in the Total Compensation Statement?
As Open Enrollment approaches, evaluate your current deductions and contributions to determine if you鈥檇 like to make any changes to your current selections.
My payslip provides information on earnings, taxes and paid time, and the Total Compensation Statement provides information on those same things. What鈥檚 the difference?
The Total Compensation Statement provides information on the same items as the payslip, and also includes benefits and a view of the total value provided.
How often will my statement be updated?
You will receive a notice from UWHR whenever your statement has been updated. We anticipate updating the statements annually in April.
Can I see my prior statement from October 2020?
Statements are refreshed and prior releases are not available at this time. You may view your earnings and benefits details by logging into Workday.
Why is the value where 91探花contributes X% above cash compensation appear to be greater than 100%?
Some staff who have few hours accumulated over the time period may have had 91探花contributions for benefits that are greater than their current pay. For this reason, the percentage will be greater than 100%.
