Jerome Joint School District No. 261

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 7500

Payroll

Preparing the payroll is the responsibility of the District Office.

The district will pay employees monthly on the 25th of the month. If the 25th falls on a certified non-work day, then

payday will occur on the last work day preceding the weekend or break.

All staff will be paid based on salary schedules adopted by the board effective on the date identified when

adopted. Any exceptions must be approved by the superintendent.

The district requires direct deposit for all employees. Payroll checks will not be withheld if the employee does not

have direct deposit, however, a $5.00 (five dollar) processing fee will be assessed per payroll period.

To meet time lines, the district office will adopt schedules for submission of materials to be used in preparing the

payroll. Any material that does not meet these deadlines will not be included in that month’s payroll.

The district will participate in a cafeteria plan. Employees wanting to participate will sign up in December with

changes effective in January.

Garnishments

Garnishments served on the district for any employee will be processed in the current payroll. The district office

will attempt to contact the individual employee before the garnishment is deducted. The garnishment will not be

reversed unless confirmed in writing by the originating agency.

Payroll Deduction Vendors

A District Administration approved vendor list will consist of the Section 125, Tax Sheltered Annuity, Health,

Dental, Life, Vision and Counseling providers.

Additional vendors may be added for payroll deduction at the request of an employee, but this will not add the

vendor to the approved vendor list. Other than the Section 125 vendor, no vendor may solicit business on school

property, either in person or through distributed printed material without prior District Administration approval. A

vendor’s approval for payroll deduction does not imply the district is endorsing a company or its product. Vendors

will not use advertising that implies endorsement by the district.
