Payroll FAQ's

Payday is always the last working day of the month.

- Where can I see my paystubs?
You can review your paystubs on employee portals. Click the following links for instructions:
- What deductions are mandatory?
There are two types of deductions: mandatory and voluntary.
- Mandatory deductions: taxes, garnishments, tax levies, and retirement. These are IRS regulated or court-ordered (e.g., child support) and withheld accordingly. Employee authorization is generally not required.
- Voluntary deductions: benefits, dental insurance, insurance premiums, healthcare savings account (HSA) contributions, and 403b contributions.
- What do I do if I think my paycheck is incorrect?
Review your check stub before contacting the payroll department. If you still have questions, submit a help ticket via the Employee Inquiry Form or contact the payroll help desk at (209) 933-7000 ext 1. Do not submit a help ticket and call the hotline simultaneously, as multiple requests can delay the process.
