Using the Paycheck Modeler

   Overview   

In OneUSG Connect, you have access to a new feature called the Paycheck Modeler. With the paycheck modeler, you can determine what your take home pay would be if you adjusted your earnings, your deductions, or your tax information. Whether bi-weekly or monthly, paycheck modeler is a powerful tool to investigate your own what-if scenarios that impact your paycheck.

Note: The Paycheck Modeler will not be functional until after you have a paycheck in the new system.
