WCPS Employee Handbook 2023-2024

Garnishments Statement The Board of Education expects each employee to handle his personal financial affairs satisfactorily. When served by the courts, the Board will comply with the terms of the garnishment against an employee's salary to insure liquidation of specified debts, especially delinquent taxes. Pay Dates Statement Employees on a regular annual salary will be paid twice each month. Pay dates are the closest working day to the 15th of each month and the last working day of each month. Salary Provisions for Late Hire/Early Separation Statement The method of calculating pay for a teacher who is employed after the school year begins or who leaves before the end of the school year is as follows: 1. A per-diem salary rate will be calculated by dividing the annual salary by the number of contract days. 2. The annual prorated salary for teachers employed after the school year begins will be determined by multiplying the per-diem rate times the number of contract days to be worked. This amount is then divided by the number of pay periods remaining in the year. e.g., Starting date: October 16 Annual salary: $25,130 Remaining work days: 153 (The number of days in a similar period will vary each year.) $25,130/190 = $132.26 per-diem $132.26 x 153 = $20,235.78 annual salary prorated $20,235.78 /17 (pay periods remaining) = $1,190.34 (per pay period) 3. The final salary determination for teachers who leave before the end of the school year will be calculated by multiplying the number of contract days worked by the per-diem salary and subtracting the gross wages earned to date. e.g., Last day worked: January 31 Annual Salary: $25,130 Days worked: 98 (The number of days in a similar period will vary each year.) Actual salary received through January 31: $12,565 Actual salary earned through January 31: $132.26 (per-diem) x 98 = $ 12,961.48 - 12,565,00 (received through 1/31) $ 396.48 due teacher on February 15.
