Payroll

The school system maintains personnel records that are vital to you as an employee.  If information in your records is not correct, it is your responsibility to notify the Human Resource Department of the changes that need to be made.

Salary schedules are published in the PSE and CEA bargaining agreements and board resolution #222405 for non-represented employees.

Pay Day

The School Board will pay all employees on the last banking day of each month unless otherwise determined.

All payroll will be electronically deposited in a bank/credit union as specified by the employee. In cases of beginning or ending employees, or under other pre-approved circumstances, the payroll will be paid by check.  Checks or deposit advices will be sent directly to the employee at the work place or to the address on file in the payroll department.

It is the policy of the School Board to deduct Federal and State taxes and the employee’s part of social security. The employee may choose to deduct professional dues, United Way or other approved scholarship contributions.  Contact the Payroll Department for a list of other types of insurances and TSA’s that can be processed as a voluntary payroll deduction but are not endorsed by the Crescent School Board.

Beginning 1/1/2020, health insurance is offered through the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB) for employees working more than 630 annual hours.  Prior to 12/31/2019 the District offers employees vision and dental insurance for all employees who work at least 10 hours per week, and medical plans are optional.  A term life insurance plan is provided through Premera and subsequently trough SEBB.  Additional Optional Life Insurance may be purchased through a voluntary payroll deduction.

The School Board, as a part of the salary package for eligible employees, participates in the state program of retirement benefits under the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS).

As a participant under the Plan, you may elect to reduce your compensation by a specific amount and have that amount contributed to the Plan as a salary deferral.
