IMPORTANT: January 2012 Pay Warrant and the Temporary Social Security Employee Tax Rate Reduction

There was an error with the January 1, 2012 pay warrants issued by the State Controller’s Office (SCO) that was caused by a delay in Congress to extend the Social Security Tax cut that was originally implemented in 2011 and scheduled to end on December 31, 2011. Fortunately, the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut continuation Act of 2011 was extended through February 29, 2012.

The SCO has reprogrammed its payroll system and will issue the adjustment for the over-withheld amount to the majority of employees in their January 2012 pay warrant which will be released during pay day on February 1, 2012.  All other employees will receive a separate adjustment payment, if applicable, by February 29, 2012. 

Should you have any questions, you can contact your payroll representative in Human Resources at (408) 924-2250. 

Direct Deposit Update

Due to new banking regulations, if your payroll warrant is direct deposited via Automated Clearing House (ACH) into a U.S. Financial Institution and the entire net of the payments is automatically forwarded to a Financial Institution outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., the State Controller's Office is required to include additional information that is not currently on file. If any portion of your Direct Deposit is automatically forwarded from a U.S. Financial Institution to a Financial Institution outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., please contact the State Controller's Office Direct Deposit Unit at (916) 327-5023.
