Review your name, address, deduction information, etc. Maintaining accurate address information is crucial.

If you require assistance contact Human Resources at ASKHR@PalmBeachSchools.org or you may call the HR Customer Care center at or toll free at Payroll Contact At all schools and departments there is a Payroll Contact. At schools this is usually the Head Secretary. The Payroll Contacts generally enter the hours worked by substitutes at their locations or oversee those who do. If there are questions regarding hours not reported or reported incorrectly, contact the Head Secretary for action. Please be mindful that hours not reported timely may experience a delay in payment. Hourly Employees Hourly employees, such as substitutes, are paid for hours worked in the pay period, one week in arrears. Voluntary & Involuntary Deductions - The District processes two types of deductions. Voluntary deductions are deductions that you initiate and authorize to have deducted from your pay. There are limited offerings for substitutes. Substitute teachers will be enrolled in the 401a Alternate FICA plan with Bencor Administrative Services. This is in lieu of paying social security tax. Participation in the plan is mandatory for employees of the District who are not eligible for the Florida Retirement System. An involuntary deduction is a deduction of a legal nature, such as, tax levies, child support, defaulted loans, court orders, etc. If we receive a deduction order, we will notify you by mail when the deductions from your pay are scheduled to begin and the amount of the deduction. If you should have any questions or concerns with the amount to be deducted from your pay, you should contact the entity issuing the deduction order. You can find more information on deductions during the third paycheck of the month in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) area in the Payroll section of the District website. Click on the link entitled: What Happens to Deductions When I m Paid Three Times in one Month.
