The Salary Savings Program helps eligible nine-month employees at Auburn University and Auburn University at Montgomery spread a portion of their earnings over the summer months. Through a partnership with Auburn University Credit Union (AUCU), employees can elect to have a designated amount deducted from each paycheck and deposited into a savings account for future distribution.
The program is convenient, flexible, and free to participate in.
Program Highlights
- Enroll through AUCU. Employees who wish to participate must complete a Payroll Deduction Authorization with AUCU. Participants must have an AUCU account. For more information or to open an account, contact AUCU at 844-4120 or 888-899-2112.
- Choose your savings amount. Participants select the amount they would like deducted from each semi-monthly paycheck. Funds are deposited directly into the employee's designated AUCU account and may earn interest depending on the account selected.
- Maintain access to your funds. Participants retain ownership and control of their account and may access their savings at any time if needed.
- Determine your distribution schedule. Employees can arrange to receive their saved funds during the summer months, helping extend income over a twelve-month period.
- Enjoy flexibility. Employees may begin or discontinue participation in the program as needed, subject to AUCU processing timelines.
