Important information on first paychecks
A reminder that the new payroll schedule includes bimonthly payments to all employees starting with the first paycheck on Tuesday, July 16. The first check will be for a shorter period to include time from July 1-July 9. All legacy EVMS employees were paid through June 30 by EVMS. Your pay stub is now available on LeoOnline under your Employee Dashboard.
Important things to note:
- All employees hired by EVMS before April 1, 2024, received three percent (3%) increase effective July 1, 2024, regardless of their anniversary date. This is consistent with Commonwealth practices.
- All employees, except for part-time transient employees (ODU hourly wage employees), are now paid on a salary basis. The first pay period for EVMS employees classified as hourly wage is July 1-July 15, with a pay date of Aug. 1.
- Pay stubs show the pay period is June 25-July 9. Your pay is for July 1-July 9 because you were paid by EVMS for the period June 25-June 30.
- Your pay will be less than future distributions because it is not a full pay period. The percentage for the shortened period is 63.6363% of a full pay period.
- Employee retirement contributions for faculty including Administrative and Professional (AP) Faculty, Teaching and Research (TR) Faculty, and AP and TR Medical Faculty are likely not deducted this pay period due to timing. Classified staff should see the mandatory 5% employee contribution in this paycheck.
- Employer retirement contributions for classified staff should be reflected in the June 25-July 9 pay stub. Voluntary elections and the corresponding employer match may not have been taken this pay period due to timing but should be taken for the next pay period.
Some supplements are not showing in your pay stub but will be included in your actual pay. This issue is being addressed and should be resolved by the next pay period.
Please see below how gross pay was calculated, assuming an annual salary of $50,000 and the employee worked all hours in their normal schedule. Overtime or reduced hours will impact this calculation for non-exempt employees. (Note: Gross pay refers to pay before taxes and any other deductions.)
- Annual Salary: $50,000.00
- Divide Annual Salary into 24 pay periods: 2,083.33
- % of period due to shorter period: 63.6363%
- Gross Pay: $1,325.76
Going forward, pay will be for entire period and the 63.6363% calculation will not be applicable. In addition, future paychecks will reflect other allowances and deductions, such as phone allowance, retirement contributions and other deductions based on individual employee circumstances.
