Parking, CRC refunds; discontinuing automatic deductions

Many University of Cincinnati faculty and staff receive automatic deductions from their paychecks on a biweekly or monthly basis in order to cover costs for campus parking permits.

And numerous employees do the same in order to cover costs for membership in the Campus Recreation Center.

Because of the recent changes in campus operations, wherein many faculty and staff are working remotely in order to maintain UC's educational mission while seeking to contain the spread of COVID-19, the university will provide a reimbursement, on a pro-rata basis, to those employees with an automatic paycheck deduction for parking and/or for CRC membership.

The pro-rata March 2020 reimbursement will cover the time period of March 25 through the end of the month. That pro-rata reimbursement will appear on April paychecks. (The reimbursement will appear on April paychecks because changes in campus operations occurred too late to alter March paychecks. Thus, expect to see the usual automatic deductions to employees' March 2020 paychecks.)

However, no automatic paycheck deductions for parking or CRC memberships will be made in either April or May 2020.
