Payroll deduction is offered to faculty/staff employees for annual services which include memberships, locker and/or towel services during any month.  Employees may join the Recreational Sports Center and enroll in payroll deduction in person at the Welcome Center.   You will be given a receipt detailing the following terms after activating your membership type, locker fee, and/or towel service.  

• The monthly or biweekly deductions will be based on the fees for the services selected, membership type, enrollment date, and pay cycle.
• Each July, the rates are subject to change.  Members will receive an email notification each year with the approved rates.
• Payroll deduction will remain active until cancellation or change notification is received.
• Should you miss a deduction for any reason (leave of absence, termination, etc.) you are still responsible for the payment due.
• Missed payroll deductions will result in cancellation of services.
• No refunds will be issued.

Members who enroll in payroll deduction will remain active members until they leave the University or notify the Welcome Center to cancel their membership.  Changes, including adding/deleting memberships, can be accommodated.  For all membership cancellation or changes, you must complete the on-line Payroll Deduction Cancellation /Change form or visit the Welcome Center in person.  Cancellation will not be accepted via email or phone.  To assist with the timely processing of your request, the notification should be submitted at least 30 days in advance.  Memberships will terminate the last day of the month.
