Total Compensation Statement: FAQ

What is a Total Compensation Statement?

This statement details your annual earnings as well as your employee benefits like tuition remission and the University’s contributions to your total compensation package. 

What is the purpose of the Total Compensation Statement?

This statement shares information about your annual earnings and benefits, and it shows you the University’s total investment in you as an employee of the University.

What information is contained in the Total Compensation Statement?

This statement details your annual earnings as well as your employee benefits like tuition remission and the University’s contributions to your total compensation package. 

This statement is broken down into four sections:

  • Earnings – this section shows your gross wages by earnings category.
  • Benefits – this section shows your contributions and the University’s contributions to your employee benefits.
  • Retirement – this section shows your contributions and the University’s contributions to your retirement accounts.
  • Summary – this section shows a summary of the above sections, plus tuition remission and taxable fringe benefits* received, and a grand total line that shows benefits, retirement, and other University contributions to your total compensation package for the previous calendar year.

* Taxable fringe benefits are listed on the line called “Other” and include items like the imputed income associated with the value of your group term life insurance over $50,000, personal use of loaner vehicles, club memberships, lodging, and clothing receipts.

My pay stub has similar information my Total Compensation Statement. What is the difference between the two?

The “Allowances” line listed in the earnings section shows allowances paid for items like cell phone, automobile, clothing, and wellness.
