Employees requesting balance of yearly pay on the first pay day following the last day of school must do so by notifying the superintendent in writing no later than May 15. The total number allowed shall not exceed fifteen (15) in number and shall first honor those teachers resigning or dismissed by the District. Requests for payment for those not leaving the District will be honored by lottery. Federal and State tax deducted from the lump-sum payment shall be at the approximate rate/amount as if payments had been made as normally scheduled.

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!

Since May 15th falls on a Saturday this year, you need to get your WRITTEN REQUEST to the Superintendent no later than the close of business on Friday, May 14th. (I would recommend hand delivery to the Central Office and getting a time-stamped copy of same.)

NOTE TO RETIREES AND TERMINATED EMPLOYEES:

You have the option...

• You can "demand" that the balance of your salary be paid to you within three (3) business days of your last day of employment, or

• You can continue receiving your regular paycheck "as scheduled" through the end of August.

The Central Office should be notifying you of this option in the near future.

Also...

If you are currently a member of the District's health insurance group, your coverage continues THROUGH AUGUST. (Retirees, you should have told TRS that you wanted your TRS health insurance - TRIP - to begin on September 1st. If you did not, call TRS...I'm sure they will accommodate you.)

And in conclusion...
