Payroll

Processing payroll is an immense task and is split into four pay calendars:

  • Classified Contract
  • Certificated Contract
  • Classified Hourly (subs, board members)
  • Certificated Hourly (subs, 4K, CTE)

Each payroll technician is responsible for verifying, calculating and entering earnings, deductions, leave, tax withholdings and retirement designation for each of their employees.

The following information is intended to help you understand the payroll process.  If you ever have any questions/concerns, please call/email your payroll tech or email us.
