Payroll Deduction
- What is payroll deduction?
- Payroll deduction gives employees the option of paying for their parking through automatic deductions taken from their paychecks.
- Where do I sign up for this program?
- You must come into the Parking Services’ Customer Relations Center in Lot 15 during office hours to sign up.
- How do I qualify for this program?
- To qualify, your employment contract would need to be more than 10 months from the time you sign up in the Parking Services’ Customer Relations Center. If you’re a new employee, it takes about 2 to 4 weeks for us to verify your employment.
- If verification takes up to 2 to 4 weeks, do I have to purchase parking in the meantime?
- No, once you sign up, a complimentary parking permit up to 2 weeks is given to you during the verification process.
- What types of permits are offered to payroll deduction employees?
- There are two types: (1) The Academic Year employee permit. This is the same permit that can be purchased over-the-counter at the Brotman Hall Cashiers and the Parking Services’ Customer Relations Center. (2) The Full Year employee permit. This permit is currently good for 3 years, expiring on May 30, 2011

-
How do I stop my payroll deduction?
- You can come into the Parking Services’ Customer Relations Center to fill out a “Stop Form”.
- If I’m leaving the university, should I fill out a “Stop Form” if I’m not receiving a check?
- Yes. As part of the Clearance Form for each employee leaving the university, the employee parking permit has to be turned in. If you’re on payroll deduction, you will be asked to fill out a “Stop Form”. Failure to stop payroll deduction when leaving to another State of Calfornia agency will result in continued deductions.
