This is a general reminder to all benefits-eligible employees.
Are you planning to retire or separate from employment? If so, you may be eligible to defer a portion of your vacation and/or compensable sick leave payout to your University 403(b) or State Deferred Comp 457 Plan account. Action is required if you wish to defer your payout.
The appropriate form(s) must be completed and received by University Payroll & Benefits (UPB) no later than 60 days before your last day of employment. Even if you have an existing 403(b) or 457 account, you must complete and submit these forms to defer your payout.
- If you do not have an active account under one of these plans, then you must open an account to defer your payout. View plan information to open a 403(b) and/or 457 Plan account.
- Ask your unit HR contact or business manager to complete and email to UPB the Benefits Payout Deferral Worksheet estimating your payout amount. This is required to complete the 403(b) and/or 457 Plan deferral forms below.
- You are encouraged to contact UPB for assistance in completing these forms:
- 403(b) Plan Deferral – Complete a paper Salary Reduction and/or Redirection Agreement form. The Payout Designation section is at the top of page 2.
- 457 Deferred Comp Plan Deferral – Contact UPB to complete the appropriate paper form.
- Submit your completed form(s) to UPB no later than 60 days before your last day of employment.
See Leave Payout information for a calculator to estimate your payout.
