This page contains information relevant to clients participating in the State’s Payroll Deduction program

Each year the State Controller’s Office performs an extensive audit of the total cost of performing payroll deduction services for its clients. The cost of performing these services is passed on to our clients in the form of a "service charge". These charges, for the most part, are immediately withheld from the resulting remittance to the client at mid-month and/or month end. In some cases these charges are billed to the client separately from the normal deduction remittance process. These service charge rates are assessed for each payroll deduction withheld.

Effective August 1, 2008, the State Controller’s Office deduction service charges rates are as follows:

Deduction Type	Magnetic Media Input	Paper Input
Miscellaneous	$.13499	$.31829
Deferred Compensation	$.19274
CSU Tax Sheltered Annuity		$.34653
Civil Service Tax Sheltered Annuity		$1.84150
Health Benefits	$.26255
Dental, Life, LTD, Vision & Legal Benefits	$.16785	$.25119
