PAYROLL  PROCEDURES / SCHEDULES

No individual shall be placed on the payroll or receive salary adjustments without prior written authorization of the Superintendent.

Salary checks will be issued semi-monthly during the term of contract or agreement with the District in twenty-four (24) equal installments.  During summer breaks, paychecks will be mailed to the address authorized, designated to be picked up or direct deposited.  Those employees assigned to work less than a fiscal year and who are offered the opportunity to choose to receive payment of wages beyond the period in which the wages were earned (deferred payment) may be subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) penalties unless they sign a written election of such deferral prior to the first duty day of the year of deferral.  Forms for such deferral shall be made available by the District.

An employee who quits the service of the District shall be paid all wages due on the regular payday for the pay period during which termination occurs.  Such wages may be paid by mail if requested.
