Board orders retroactive pay to correct custodial payroll error
Summary
Board approved a retroactive pay adjustment after staff disclosed custodial employees had been paid on a 220‑day basis although they were scheduled to work 240 days.
At the April 21 meeting the Lake County Board of Education approved a motion to correct a payroll error affecting custodial staff. District staff told the board custodians had been converted from 200-day to 220-day contracts and were intended to move to a 240-day schedule this year; a keystroke error resulted in pay remaining at the 220-day level even though staff worked the longer schedule.
The board approved a pay adjustment to cover the 20 days owed; staff said the necessary funding is available in the budget and asked the board to authorize the payout. The board made the motion and approved it by roll call. Payroll and human-resources staff were tasked to process the retroactive payments and report back when complete.
The board emphasized the action was intended to correct the district error and to ensure staff were made whole for time already worked.
