  • 2023 Payroll Deductions-Parking Permit

    Just as a reminder, parking permits for employees will be deducted from pay monthly from September through May. This change was made in response to the feedback of the Staff Advisory Committee. Parking deductions are being applied over nine months to help spread out the cost for employees, provide greater predictability, and avoid larger lump sum deductions.

    Thank you to all who shared feedback to inform these changes, which we hope will better serve Tech faculty and staff. As always, please contact the Payroll Office at 931-372-3712 or payroll@tntech.edu with any questions.
