Frequently Asked Questions
The annual iCare, iGive Campaign offers an opportunity for SSM Health team members to give back and support their local ministry or the ministries of their choice through a personal financial contribution.
Funds raised through the campaign support your ministry’s Employee Relief Fund, areas of greatest need, and other vital programs and services that help provide exceptional care to those we serve. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a significant difference in the lives of our patients and your fellow colleagues in need of assistance.

Voluntary Deduction is the term Workday uses for payroll-deducted contributions.
Payroll deductions are available for SSM Health employees through Workday. There is a minimum gift of $1 per-pay-period per funding option, and there are 27 pay periods in 2026. For example, a gift of $1 per-pay-period = $27/year, a gift of $2 per-pay-period = $54/year. To see what your total yearly contribution would be based on the payroll deduction amount, click HERE. Gifts will be deducted through payroll starting with the next pay period. Payroll deductions will automatically continue each year, unless changed by the employee.
If you donated last year via payroll deduction, your payroll deductions will automatically continue at the same giving amount. No action is needed on your part. If you want to make a change to your current deductions, please click HERE for instructions.
To update a current deduction, login to Workday HERE. You will see a summary of your current employee contributions. Click the ‘Edit’ button to the right of the deduction you wish to revise. Select an end date of today or for the next pay-period date shown below. This will stop your current deduction.
After saving and returning back to the Voluntary Deductions page, click ‘Add’ to re-select the fund you wish to support, add the amount for your per-pay-period contribution in the Value field and click save.
If you wish to support an additional fund, you will need to click ‘Add’ again for the second deduction, select the new fund from the drop-down menu, enter the amount of your per-pay-period contribution and click save. The new deduction will automatically be applied to the next pay-cycle. You do not need to change the dates as the start and end dates are defaulted for you.
For detailed instructions on how to edit or change a current deduction, click HERE.
Yes. In the Workday Voluntary Deductions section, you must ‘Edit’ and stop the contribution you wish to change and create a new one to ensure all changes are accurately applied to any paychecks moving forward. Please see the question above for instructions on how to make a change to your current deduction.
If you have any questions about this process, please email employeegiving@ssmhealth.com.
