Payroll Deduction

 

  • Full-time salaried Faculty/Staff may enroll enroll in payroll deduction to pay for their Mason Rec membership.

The per paycheck deduction is calculated as the annual membership price/number of annual paychecks [e.g. $12.50/paycheck for employees paid semi-monthly ($300/24)]. Cancellations made within the first year of membership are subject to a $25 administrative fee (per membership). Cancellations made after the first year of membership are not subject to the fee.
  • Eligible faculty/staff may enroll in payroll deduction membership through our online portal.
