Payroll Deduction

Our program simplifies the giving process, allowing employees to contribute incrementally with each paycheck, eliminating the need for a lump-sum donation at year-end.

United Way: 

  • Conducts informative sessions with employers and employees

  • Assists your payroll department to streamline the contribution process

Your Company:

  • Permits United Way to share information with employees

  • Supports payroll deductions

When pledging to United Way, employees authorize payroll deductions through a signed form or online submission. The pledged amount is deducted from their paycheck per an agreed schedule and remitted by the employer to United Way. 

Employees must maintain records, including pay-related documents and pledge confirmation, to comply with IRS requirements for claiming tax deductions.
