Dinwiddie board moves work-week to Sunday-to-Saturday to align weekend payroll
Summary
The school board approved a policy change to define the district work week as Sunday through Saturday to avoid splitting weekend work for roles such as bus drivers under Fair Labor Standards Act procedures.
The Dinwiddie County School Board voted to modify its staff time schedule policy so the district work week begins Sunday and ends Saturday, replacing the prior Saturday-through-Friday definition.
District staff said the change is intended to simplify payroll calculations under Fair Labor Standards Act procedures and to avoid splitting weekend work across two different pay weeks for employees such as bus drivers who may perform field trips on weekends.
Miss Branch presented the requested change and noted the district does not typically have staff working weekends, but that occasional weekend trips and assignments make the change practical so employees' hours fall in a single work week. A board member moved the policy change; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded nays.
The board recorded the motion as approved; the policy amendment was adopted at the meeting and will be applied to future payroll periods.
