Page 14 www.NORTHWESTNAVIGATOR.com Northwest Navigator> KITSAP/EVERETT EDITION • Friday, JANUARY 29, 2010 Checking year’s first LES a must Civilian employment By George Markfelder Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, (Civilian Human Resources) Reviewing your Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) each pay period is always a good idea, but if you made any changes during the Federal Benefits Open Season, checking your LES for the first full pay period of the year (Jan. 22) is also your responsibility according to Department of the Navy (DON) policy. “Most people realize the importance of reading and understanding their LES,” said Mary Foley, DON Civilian Benefits Center Manager. “All employees also need to understand that it is DON policy for each employee to review their own LES each pay date to ensure proper deductions have been withheld to avoid errors that could cause indebtedness.” According to Foley, it is especially important to review the LES you received Jan. 22, 2010 since it will reflect any change you made during the Federal Benefits Open Season. Benefits Bulletin 2009-10 provides additional information. If an error is noticed, DON employees should immediately call the Benefits Line at 888-320-2917 and select menu option #4 to talk to a Customer Service Representative (CSR). CSRs are available 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except on Federal holidays. The TTY number for the deaf and hard of hearing is 866-328-9889.
