Starting July 1, DPS is improving how our team members are paid and simplifying how most of our employees request and track time off. With True Pay, our new time and pay system, all team members will receive two paychecks each month, one on the 7th and one on the 22nd. If the 7th or 22nd are on weekends or holidays, in most cases you will be paid the weekday before.
For all of us, this means more frequent, accurate paychecks and the ability to more accurately track your time off and available leave. It also means pay stubs that are easier to understand and no more paper timesheets.
Classroom teachers will continue to use Smart Find Express to request and report time off and schedule substitutes.
How does this affect your pay?
This change will affect how we're paid, and we want to be sure you have time to prepare. Teachers will be paid twice a month starting in August. There will be no lapse in pay for teachers.Monthly teacher incentives paid through the ProComp Calculator will be paid once a month for the month before, on the second paycheck of the month.
We're developing calendars to help team members understand what their summer pay schedules look like.
In the meantime, we encourage you to look at your W4 tax exemptions and make necessary changes to your automatic billing cycles (for energy, phone or water accounts, for example).
As a member of Team DPS, you have free access to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Call 855-327-1377 to talk with certified public accountants and certified financial planners for help with budgeting, debt management, tax issues and other money concerns.
Questions?
We understand this is a significant change, and it's likely you'll have questions. To start, we created thecommons.dpsk12.org/truepay and an FAQ to help navigate this change.
