This week, IT has released an updated version of the Paycheck Simulator tool. This new version features an updated, user-friendly interface and can be used to create "what if" scenarios with your paycheck. For example, you could simulate different withholding amounts, adjust retirement contributions and more. The new Paycheck Simulator is available as a tile on the Employee and Faculty pages of Hornet 365. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Help Desk.
