** Note:

 All voluntary deductions will come out of the first pay period of each month of participation. It is recommended that you make the deduction start date the same day that you sign up for the program.

Depending on when the deduction is added will determine when payroll will take the deduction and deposit ShastaBUCKS to your Cougar Card. Typically, if the deduction is added prior to the 15th day of the month ShastaBUCKS will be available the first pay period of the next month.

For example:

 

 Complete payroll voluntary deduction setup by August 6, 2019, with a start date of August 6, 2019, and the payroll deduction will start with the first pay period the following month. A notification email is automatically sent out when the deduction is actually made from payroll.
