Your Fair Share

What is your Fair Share?  A Fair Share is one hour’s pay per month:

The easiest way to calculate your Fair Share…

Salaried employees:

  1. On the top half of your Employee Earnings Statement, locate the Earnings line titled “SEMI-MONTHLY PAY.”
  2. Divide that figure by 173 hours.
  3. The result is equal to ½ hour of your pay per month. Enter that amount, or more, on the Payroll Deduction form, authorizing UM to deduct the amount each semi-monthly pay period.

Hourly employees:

(If you know your hourly rate, divide it by 2.)

  1. If you don’t know your hourly rate, locate the line titled “REGULAR PAY-HOURLY” on the top half of your Employee Earnings Statement.
  2. Divide the corresponding “CURRENT AMT” by the number in the “HOURS” column, and then divide that by 2.
  3. The result is equal to ½ hour of your pay per month. Enter that amount, or more, on the Payroll Deduction form, authorizing UM to deduct the amount each semi-monthly pay period.
