Students Payroll Deduction Information

PAYROLL DEDUCTION ACTIVATION:
Eligibility - faculty and staff are eligible to purchase a parking permit through monthly payroll deductions if the following criteria are met. The individual must:
-hold a regular (on-going) appointment, paid continuously over 12 months; and
-have a standing schedule of more than five hours per week.

Enrollment - customers who meet eligibility requirements must agree to the Terms of Agreement and the Program policies at the time of permit purchase. The cost of the annual permit is divided over 12 months and automatically deducted from the purchaser's paycheck.

Changes Throughout the Permit Year - there may be a need to purchase or change permits at some point during the permit year. Permit types may be exchanged by returning the original permit and completing a new application. Due to the pre-tax nature of the deduction, the following policies apply:

  • Permit Upgrades - the difference in value between permit types for the current month is owed at time of upgrade. New deduction schedule (amount of monthly deduction) begins the next calendar month.
  • Permit Downgrades - no refund is generated for the difference in value between the two permit types. New deduction schedule (amount of monthly deduction) begins the next calendar month.
  • New Permit Purchase - payment for the current calendar month is due at time of purchase. Deduction schedule (amount of monthly deduction) begins the next calendar month. Permits purchased in July or August for the current permit year (ending August 31) cannot be purchased through pre-tax payroll deduction.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT : (By selecting pre-tax payroll deduction and signing the application card, the customer agrees to the terms listed below.)

I hereby elect to participate in the Pre-tax Payroll Deduction Parking Program and agree to have my compensation reduced by the amount of the permit fee.  Should I wish to terminate my participation in the Program, or if my University compensation stops for any reason (leave of absence, termination from OSU, etc.), I will return the permit to Transportation & Parking Services and indicate that I no longer wish to participate in the program.

 

I understand that if a payroll deduction is missed for any reason, I am still responsible for the payment due. I am aware that failure to pay a missed deduction will result in issuance of a citation or my permit may be classified as revoked. Unpaid citations or display of a revoked permit may lead to impoundment of my vehicle or motorcycle.

PAYROLL DEDUCTION CANCELLATION:
Separation from the University – if an individual separates from the University, he/she must return their permit to Transportation & Parking Services.  Until the permit is returned to Transportation & Parking Services, the permit is considered active and fees for the permit will continue to accrue.  If the fees of the permit become overdue by more than a month, the permit and all parking privileges associated with that permit will be revoked.  The cancellation date of a permit is effective when the permit is returned to Transportation & Parking Services, not the official date of termination.  No refund is given for any unused portion of the current month.  Deductions will stop in the next calendar month.

Compensation Stops – if an individual separates from the University, he/she must return their permit to Transportation & Parking Services.  Until the permit is returned to Transportation & Parking Services, the permit is considered active and fees for the permit will continue to accrue.  The cancellation date of a permit is effective when the permit is returned to Transportation & Parking Services, not the official date of termination.  No refund is given for any unused portion of the current month.  Deductions will stop in the next calendar month.

Refunds - due to the official date of termination or leave. No refund is given for any unused portion of the current month. to the pre-tax nature of the deduction, refunds cannot be generated for permits that have not been used for a period of time, nor can refunds be generated for the month in which the permit is returned. Refunds are only generated if an error occurs.

Missed Deductions - if a deduction is missed, for any reason, Transportation & Parking Services will attempt to contact the customer via automated notice. The notice also serves as an invoice for the amount of the missed deduction(s). If after 60 days the customer has not been successfully contacted and/or missed payments have not been received, permit privileges will be revoked. Customers are responsible for missed payments while the permit is not in the possession of Transportation & Parking Services.
