FY 2012 Retirement/Pension Subsidies

This subsidy is applied by the Statewide Payroll System when the employee is established in a retirement or pension system.  It is computed as a percent of the stated annual salary, divided by the number of pay period ending dates for the fiscal year over which the employee's deduction would be active (divisor column below ) and taken as a fixed amount from the first dollar of wages.  This subsidy is charged whenever wages are paid, even if by nature of the plan the employees do not make a contribution or do not make a contribution until reaching the value of the OASDI FICA wage base ($106,800 in calendar 2011).  However, if the employees are required to make a contribution and have insufficient wages for their own contribution, no subsidy will be charged.
