Re: Payroll Processing During School Closure
Below is a summary of how payroll will be processed during the emergency school closure:
All teachers, teaching assistants, administrators, secretaries, buildings & grounds staff, bus drivers and managerial confidential employees will be paid their regular contractual pay during this time.
Teacher Aides, Transportation Aides, and Monitors will be paid for their board appointed hours. Building secretaries will be asked to fill out time sheets for these employees based upon the hours the employee was appointed for when they received board approval (a list will be provided). Administrators will be asked to sign off on the timesheets before sending over to payroll for processing. Buildings & Grounds employees with any overtime time sheets will continue to submit as they normally would.
Substitutes will not be paid during this time, however, any timesheets submitted for the pay cycle ending on March 13 will still be processed as long as they have been turned in to the Business Office by today.
As of right now, we are able to process both direct deposit and the few live checks we issue. All live checks will be mailed until further notice. If for any reason the District Office is closed and staff are not allowed to come in, only the direct deposit checks will be able to be processed.
