Classified union raises payroll problems after payroll-system transition; district says it is issuing supplemental checks
Summary
CSEA vice president told the board summer payroll and training hours were not paid on time after the district switched payroll systems; district staff said a supplemental check was issued Sept. 12 and HR is working to resolve outstanding cases.
A representative of the California School Employees Association chapter told the board that following the district's transition to a new payroll system this summer, a number of classified employees did not receive pay for summer trainings, Keenan videos, extra shifts and other summer work.
"A lot of our members did not get the time spent for trainings... a lot of extra work request items like that were not paid on time with the 9/10 paycheck," CSEA Vice President Joe Riley said. He said the district issued a supplemental check on Sept. 12 that addressed many issues but that some members remain unpaid for extra hours, which is especially consequential for lower-paid classified employees.
District staff acknowledged the problem and said HR is working to resolve remaining items. Board members asked staff for continued attention to the issue because it disproportionately affects lower-paid employees.
Why it matters: delayed or missing paychecks can have immediate financial consequences for employees and signal problems in payroll implementation. The board heard that HR and district staff met with union representatives and are working on remediation.
Next steps: staff said they are continuing to address outstanding cases and urged affected employees to contact HR while district payroll staff and the union continue to coordinate.
