Annual Salary as of February 28, 2005
Use a copy of your Pay Advice, not your W-2 Form, to determine your current salary. You should use the last Pay Advice you received in the month of February 2005. In the Pay Advice section entitled HOURS AND EARNINGS: Current Pay Period, take the figure under “Earnings” and multiply it by 26 (pay periods). This figure should be entered in the space indicated.
If you have entered this information correctly, the Spreadsheet should yield
the retroactive pay amount that will be paid in the January 27, 2006 Pay
Advice. Retroactive payments due to department
chairpersons and part-time faculty for work performed in the spring 2005 and
fall 2005 semesters may or may not be included in this Pay Advice. Check
with your local payroll office to find out when these off-base payments will be
made.
