Retirement Check Deductions
The difference between gross and net pay differs in retirement than it does for active
employees. There are fewer deductions taken. The following are examples of deductions
that are NOT taken from retirement checks:
- Social Security Tax
- Medicare Tax
- CalPERS Contributions
- Union Dues
- Parking Fees
Also, all voluntary deductions cease. This can include life insurance, long term care,
credit unions, and charitable contributions. To continue voluntary deductions, employees
should contact the companies directly to establish a billing arrangement.
