As Monday, September 15, is the first regular pay day of the new school year, here are a few reminders and bits of information for our employees: - If you are a salaried employee who has elected to take your pay in equal installments (for instance, so that you receive pay checks or direct deposits over the summer), then all regular pay amounts will be the same for every pay period, regardless of the number of days worked during that pay period. This not only provides you a more predictable income each pay period and pay throughout the year, but also helps to more evenly withhold taxes each pay. This is common practice for county boards of education across West Virginia and in businesses small and large when paying salaried employees. - If you are a day-to-day employee (like a substitute teacher or substitute custodian), because the first pay period is slightly longer than most, if you worked every day since the beginning of the school year, you may see a larger pay this time than you will likely see in the future. - Thanks to the Legislatures action in the spring, all employees will receive an increase in pay this year beyond the usual, yearly increment. Professional employees will see $1,000 more in addition to their yearly increment, while service employees will see 2% more in addition to their yearly increment. Since these raises are applied to the state basic salaries, they will appear not as a lump sum like the levy stipend but as part of your yearly / monthly salary throughout 2014-15. - Payments for extracurricular and extra duty assignments may or may not appear in your first pay check of the school year. Many extracurricular assignments require annual approval as personnel actions, which means they must first be approved by the state on a personnel agenda before they can be officially assigned to you and payment made. Also, some assignments are not paid until you have completed the assignment (Wellness Coaches, for instance), while others are not automatically accounted for and must be approved by your supervisor and submitted to payroll (extra duty bus runs, for instance). In all cases, once the proper procedure has been followed and completed, any corrections to your pay may be made retroactively. - As payroll is entered and transmitted at the school/division level this year as it was last year, any and all questions regarding pay should be brought to your building administrator and/or direct supervisor.
