Understanding your Pay:

Important Payroll Information

Payroll processing for our district is an immense task, involves careful attention to detail, and is organized across four pay calendars:

• Classified Contract
• Certificated Contract
• Classified Hourly (including substitutes and board members)
• Certificated Hourly (including substitutes and 4K teachers)

Fiscal Services Technicians process earnings, deductions, leave balances, tax withholdings, and retirement designations for employees according to their assigned pay group.

The information below is provided to help employees understand the payroll process. If you have payroll questions or need assistance, please call or email your assigned Fiscal Services Technician.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred Net Pay (DNP)
The Deferred Net Pay (DNP) option allows employees working less than 12 months to spread certain salary payments over the year. This method calculates payments based on net pay rather than gross salary. Employees may choose the DNP option by completing the authorization form by June 30 of the preceding fiscal year.

Please note: DNP amounts appear under Net Pay rather than Earnings on your pay warrant, as taxes have already been applied. You can view your DNP balance in the Deductions section of your pay warrant.

Other Options
Additional deferred compensation programs are available for school employees, including Summer Saver and Paycheck Planner accounts through SchoolsFirst FCU.
