Payroll Information

2023-24 REGULAR HOURS PAYROLL REPORTING:
Due to Frontline implementation, we are moving to a weekly payroll submission schedule.  All Certificated and Classified payrolls are due by noon on Wednesday for the previous week. This means that, by each Wednesday:
  • Timekeepers need to collect all COAs and Time Certification Forms from the previous week
  • Timekeepers need to reconcile all time for the previous week in Frontline
  • Approvers need to review and approve all time for the previous week in Frontline
  • Timekeepers need to print Frontline reports, package them with COAs and TCFs, and put them in the District mail to Payroll
Please notify your administrator if you are not receiving COAs and TCFs on a timely basis, and please notify Payroll to confirm that you have put your payroll in the mail each Wednesday.
