Total Rewards
Human Resources updated its internal system to offer the summary of our total compensation and benefits statements in a digital format. While we recognize that for some, the name feels misleading, it both aligns with industry standards and is the default name produced by our system. Importantly, the information provided in the summary remains the same, and we are optimistic that the electronic delivery of this tool proves valuable for all in our community.

You may find the Total Rewards Summary useful for several reasons:
- Personalized Summary
The TRS is based on your annual compensation and the benefits you currently use. - Consolidated Compensation Overview
In addition to the benefits you currently use, the TRS also provides information on other programs, services and plans you may not be using, but may want to take advantage of in the future. - One Convenient Location
You may visit various websites and review numerous printed statements to find the total value of your earnings, medical and life plans, retirement savings and other benefits, but it may take some time. The TRS aggregates all of these data points so you can see your personalized total rewards in one convenient online location.
Many of the benefit amounts on the summary can be found in the year-to-date totals on your last pay statement of the year selected. The TRS is intended to provide you with information about the total value of all your benefits.
The pay statement is a record of actual payment, whereas the TRS is a comprehensive review of all benefits. Not all benefits appear on your pay statement. Pay checks can be viewed in employee Self Service by visiting the “My Pay and Taxes” tile.
Amounts reflected on the TRS under Supplemental Retirement Account are voluntary contributions. The amount UNC-Chapel Hill contributes to your retirement plan is calculated on your base pay plus any additional retirement-eligible compensation you may have received.
