Faculty/Staff Permit Rates 2013 - 2014

Faculty/Staff permit rates are based on annual salary, as of June 2013.  If an individual is hired in the middle of the year, their expected annual income will be used.   Permits will be pro-rated each week, beginning in September.  Permits remain the property of Towson University and must be returned if an employee separates from the university.  Please contact the Auxiliary Services Business Office regarding permit cost once pro-rating has begun.

Payroll deduction amounts are for the full permit rate over 20 pay periods.  The first payroll deduction will appear in the September paycheck.  The cut off date for current employees to sign up for payroll deduction for the 2013-2014 academic year is August 23, 2013.  The cut off date for new employees to sign up for payroll deduction is March 28, 2014.

Note: 20 hour Graduate Assistants qualify for the A rate.
