Faculty and Staff - You may also elect to add funds to your BG Bucks account through payroll deduction. You determine the amount that Payroll is authorized to deduct from each paycheck. Once the money has been added to your BG Bucks account, you can enjoy the ease and convenience without the hassle of monthly statements or accumulating debt. Unspent funds remain in your BG Bucks account until you spend them. Participation is completely voluntary and can be changed or stopped at any time! Click here for the authorization form.
