Eligible employees that park in areas under the jurisdiction of the University of Hawaiʻi may be assessed a semi-monthly parking fee via payroll.  At this time, only Mānoa employees have a semi-monthly parking fee via payroll.

Pre-Tax Payroll Deduction Program

The UH Mānoa Commuter Services team, in conjunction with the UH System Office of Human Resources, would like to announce the return of the pre-tax parking fee deduction benefit for UH System and UH Mānoa employees parking on the UH Mānoa campus.

The Pre-Tax Parking Fee Deduction Benefit Program allows employees to pay for eligible parking fees by deducting a portion of their paycheck BEFORE taxes are taken out. When you elect to start the payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis, it reduces your taxable income. This allows you to realize savings in federal income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare (FICA). Due to recent changes in federal tax laws, up to $270 of personal parking expenses per month can be paid for on a pre-tax basis through this program.

The Pre-Tax Parking Fee Deduction enrollment period will occur as part of the annual parking permit process beginning at the end of April for the upcoming academic year. All Board of Regents and Civil Service employees of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus who are at half-time (0.50 FTE) or greater with appointment periods specified for the entire academic year are eligible. Graduate assistants, students, emergency hires, and casual employees are ineligible for this program. JABSOM and UH Cancer Center employees, please contact your parking coordinator for your specific parking arrangements and deduction options.
