DIRECT DEPOSIT All employees will receive pay through direct deposit as a condition of employment.

TWELVE (12) CHECK PRORATION Salaried employees who work 9 or 9 ½ months may request, BEFORE THEIR FIRST DAY OF WORK, that their annual salary be divided into twelve (12) equal payments (hourly employees are NOT ELIGIBLE). This request continues from year-to-year and CAN NOT be terminated within a school year once the employee has started working. If an employee takes an unpaid leave of absence, they will receive all salary owed in their last paycheck. Upon their return to work, they must continue their 12 check status for the remainder of the school year. The two (2) "summer checks" do not contain salary supplements that may have been received during the School Year. Additionally, no payroll deductions are made from these checks other than required taxes and court orders. These checks are usually ready by mid-June. Please see the Payroll Reporting Salary Schedule in your handbook for those exact dates. Certified personnel and all 12 month personnel automatically receive twelve (12) checks. These checks are paid on the last working day of each month. Please see the Payroll Reporting Salary Schedule in your handbook for the exact dates. If you have any questions about your payroll deductions, call Brenda Hutto or Sharon Lewis at 926-0065 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. LIFE INSURANCE All payroll deductions which are made for Capital Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and any dental insurance programs are automatically pre-taxed unless a waiver form is completed.
