On December 18, 2014 United provided an update on their payroll consolidation project.  They have announced that there will be some changes to payroll in 2015 for the premerger United Flight Attendants.  One of those changes includes, on February 13th, 2015, United will start issuing a single mid-month paycheck, and will no longer issue separate checks for per diem and duty free payments. (Note:  February 16^th is a U.S. banking (Presidents’ Day) holiday.  As a result, our pay will be available to us on the business day immediately preceding the holiday.)

For those of us who have a banking relationship with the Alliant Credit Union, we want to remind you that any ACH transfers you may have set up through Payroll are currently being applied  & deducted from each payroll check that is issued by the company.  If you’ve made adjustments to your ACH transfers to accommodate these multiple deductions, we recommend that you review these instructions to ensure any changes are in place no later than the first week of February.  Contact Alliant at 1 800 328 1935 if you have additional questions.

Other changes to our paychecks include:

• Charitable Deductions – Beginning in 2015 Truist, the third party that processes our charitable deductions, will be closed to any new enrollments. Any new charitable deduction enrollments will take place through the My Info section of United’s Flying Together.  There will be no disruption or interruption for anyone who already has a current charity managed by Trust.  Starting in 2015 the options to enroll for a charity through payroll deduction will be limited to four (4) United “charities”; United Scholarship Fund, March of Dimes, United We Care, and United Way.
• Absence Balances – in an effort to ensure Flight Attendants are receiving the correct sick hour and vacation balances, United will remove these balances from the bottom of our pay advice.  Consistent with the language in Section 19.A.6. of our Contract, United will be making the current sick leave and vacation accrual balances available by moving these to Flying Together and making them available in real time.  The balances will be available on Flying Together starting December 22, 2014.   You can view your Absence Balances from the My Info page of the Employee Services section of the company’s website under the topic of “Payroll.” 

If you have any additional questions you can email the company at PayrollConsolidation@united.com or view the support documents on Flying Together > Employee Services > My Info > Payroll > Payroll Consolidation Support Info.
