For TE&Y Employees
Payroll Registers Include New Features
Payroll recaps provided to train, engine and yard (TE&Y) employees have a new look beginning this month. The registers, which are mailed to employees with paychecks and direct deposit slips, have been reformatted to make them easier to read and understand.
The recap now provides a daily breakdown showing the various allowances and arbitrary payments. Totals are provided for each day, as well as for the pay period, so the employee can easily see his or her actual earnings.
Non-taxable items, such as meals, lodging and auto mileage, are separated from taxable compensation.
The new format reports declination records for claims made by an employee that are not allowed.
"Employees will be able to identify their daily compensation much easier with this new format," said Tim Holmes, manager-timekeeping support.
Brian Schlueter, senior project engineer-Union Pacific Technologies, said Timekeeping asked that redundant totals and headings be removed from the recap.
"The programming changes we made condense the format of the register, which saves paper and adds additional readable space to the form. Employees also will notice that page numbering will appear correctly," he said.
The payroll recap changes are effective with first half of July earnings, which are paid at the end of the month. Employees with questions about the new form can call the Timekeeping customer service line at 866-623-4267 or company line 591-3267.
The payroll register change does not affect employees who participate in ePayroll.
ePayroll is a secure, paperless system that provides employees with confidential online access to their pay information, including paystubs and payroll registers. It also allows employees to change their W-4 withholding information, modify direct deposit elections and view W-2s online. Payroll registers and paystubs are available online three to seven days earlier than pay detail sent via
More than 9,000 active agreement employees are now signed up for ePayroll.
To enroll in ePayroll employees can select the ePayroll link on the left navigation of the Employees site home page, click on "you can learn more about ePayroll here" link and then go to "How do I enroll in ePayroll."
