Reminders: Benefits, compensation and PTO

The following message is shared on behalf of Wake Forest University Human Resources; it appeared in the department’s winter break reminders email to faculty and staff.

Benefits

Faculty and staff may now view their 2021 benefit elections in Workday by visiting the Benefits worklet in Workday, clicking the “Benefits Elections as of Date” in the View section and selecting Jan. 1, 2021, for the “View as of Date.”

Compensation

The last 2020 pay date for non-exempt staff will be December 23 for work performed through December 25. All timecards must be approved by 3 p.m. Friday, December 18. Also, the December 23 paycheck will not have benefit premiums deducted due to having an additional 27th pay cycle this calendar year. Any NC 529 College Savings Plan or 403(b) Retirement Plan employee contributions will still be deducted as planned.

Paid time off (PTO)

All accrued but unused PTO will carry over into calendar year 2021. As leaders encourage teams to recharge this holiday season and beyond, we invite you to use this Winter Break Toolkit for successfully supporting colleagues while they take time away during winter break or when appropriate for each unit.

Please contact Wake Forest University Human Resources with any questions at askHR@wfu.edu or 336.758.4700.
