As of June 2026, the look of earning statements has changed. Below are instructions for both styles of earning statement.

The University of Oregon’s paystub is broken into several blocks.  Each block provides a different type of information. 

Header Information:

The pay period for salaried employees always runs from the 1st to the end of the month.

The paystub example above is for January 2026 earnings.  If this were an hourly employee, the pay reflected here would be for the last part of December 2025 and the first part of January 2026.  If this were a salaried employee, the pay would reflect time from January 1st-31st.

Additional Deduction Information

Employee Core Health Insurance Benefits

The University of Oregon offers all eligible employees a Core Benefit Package, which provides medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. The university covers the majority of the cost, with the employee sharing a percentage of the total expense based on position status, employee classification, and plan selection.  Most employees pay 5% of the monthly healthcare premiums for themselves and eligible dependents.  

The Core Benefits Package includes:

*Employees pay either 5% or 3% of their Core Benefits premium costs. 

• Part time employees may have additional out of pocket costs (not reflected in the 5%/3% employee share deduction) for their Core Benefits because their employer contribution is prorated based on the number of hours worked/paid in the pay period.  To determine the total employee cost, add the amounts listed for these deductions together.

**For full-time classified and .50+ FTE faculty and OA’s, this amount displays 100% of the premium costs associated with their Core Benefits.  The employee's cost is shown under the 5%/3% employee premium share deduction.  The employer contribution for part-time classified employees is prorated based on the number of hours worked/paid in the pay period.

***Full-time classified employees with salary rates less than or equal to Salary Range 11, Step 10 ($3,798 a month or $21.91/hr, as of Nov 2025) can qualify for an additional monthly subsidy of up to $40.

If you cover a domestic partner on your Core Benefits Package and are required to pay taxes on the imputed value of that coverage, you will see it reflected as additional taxable income in the Earnings section of your paystub. 

Employees may also sign up for additional optional benefits through PEBB, such as employee, spouse or dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts.  These are not included in the Core Benefits Package and are deducted from the employee’s pay.

On the sample paystub above, the employee is a full-time salaried employee who chose the Providence Statewide Plan for medical and Willamette Dental for dental.  To determine the employees cost for the Core Benefits Package, add the following deductions together:
