If a completed direct deposit form is not submitted to payroll by the end of the second pay period after initial hire, a paycard will be issued to that employee. Adequate notice (15 days) must be given for the original authorization to take effect, to withdraw from the plan, or for a change in bank account, or banking institution. Employees may elect to have their checks deposited in a checking or savings account, or combination thereof. Authorization forms are available at the Northgate Drive office or from any school office. Newly hired substitute teachers may pick up their initial paycheck from the receptionist at the Northgate Drive office prior to 4:00 pm on the above pay dates. Checks not picked up will be mailed on the next working day. All future salary payments will be made through the direct deposit and will be available for viewing on employee online. It is recommended that substitutes keep accurate and thorough records pertaining to when and where they report for substituting and compare that information to their salary payment. Any discrepancies should be referred to the Payroll Department (410-677-4498 /4436 /4590). WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE 1. All substitute teachers are covered by Workers’ Compensation during the school hours for which they are employed. 2. Should an injury occur, immediate notification must be given to the school nurse so a claim can be filed.
