Benefit Deductions
Benefit Deductions
The amount Miami withholds from your earnings is determined by the number of pay periods in one year.
- Faculty on 9-month contracts are paid 10 times per year.
- Administrative staff and faculty on 12-month contracts or deferred pay are paid 12 times per year.
- Administrative staff on less than 12-month contracts and do not get paid 12 times, pay premiums based on 12 pays and must make up premiums when a paycheck is missed.
- Classified employees are paid 26 times per year, but deductions are taken out only 24 times.
- Classified employees who work less than 52 weeks per year and do not get paid 26 times, pay premiums based on 24 pays and must make up any premiums when a paycheck is missed.
The following deductions are made before federal taxes are taken into account.
403(b) and 457
The amount deducted from your pay will depend on what you elected when you set up your Supplemental Retirement Plan.
Insurance Premiums
If you are enrolled in Miami's health insurance, dental insurance, or voluntary vision plan, you will see the per-pay amount for each of these benefits deducted from your pay.
Health Savings Account (Employee)
If you are enrolled in the high deductible health insurance plan, you will have a Health Savings Account (HSA). If you have completed the HSA certification and are eligible for the HSA, the amount you chose to have deposited into your HSA will be deducted from your paycheck.
Health Savings Account (Employer)
Employer HSA Contribution: Miami University contributes up to $1,000 annually for Single coverage or $2,000 annually for Family coverage toward your Health Savings Account (HSA).
The employer contribution is distributed evenly throughout the calendar year across your pay periods.
Employer contributions are prorated based on your benefits coverage start date.

The following deductions are made after federal taxes are taken into account.
Roth 403(b)
