Because 9-month employees receive 20 paychecks rather than the standard 26 paychecks over 12 months, the cost of an annual contract has to be spread over fewer paychecks.
- Every January, the amount deducted from each paycheck is increased to cover the cost of a contract during the summer months when a 9-month employee is, presumably, not receiving paychecks from the university.
- Deductions from the Sept-Dec paychecks for 9-month employees are less than the standard amount as a means to aid charge proration for employees who may not return after the summer and forget to cancel their contracts.
