Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.

How to read this entry

Use the possible interpretation Long-term disability top-up for hourly staff alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.

Example on a pay statement

A plan using $1,200 eligible period pay less an $800 coordinated benefit could produce a $400 top-up, if those are its written rules.

Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.

What to check with payroll

Ask which hours and wage base were used and which other benefits were offset.
