Your plan admin will get a notification on their To Do List that a change has been made, and they will take that information and forward it to your payroll provider to be implemented.

Please note: You can make changes to your salary deferral amount at any time you wish.

And note that you may have taxes, insurance premiums, etc. withheld from your paychecks, so if you are going to defer a set % of your pay, that amount is going to be that % AFTER the other deductions.
