 SALARY DEDUCTIONS REGULATIONS

 

 

The Iberville Parish School Board is cognizant of the varied ramifications created by salary deductions.  Consequently, to be eligible for payroll deduction, a prospective insurance company must enroll a minimum of seventy-five (75) employees of the Iberville Parish School Board.  A prospective company offering annuity policies must enroll a minimum of twenty-five (25) employees to be eligible for payroll deduction.  If at any time after initial enrollment the number of employees enrolled with a particular company falls below  twenty-five (25), that company will be notified that payroll deductions will no longer be made after the end of the month in which it has been determined that enrollment has fallen below the minimum level.  This policy will not affect companies having payroll deduction arrangements with the School Board as of August 22, 1988.

 

In addition, the following regulations shall apply to deductions in salary of applicable employees:

 

1.

Implementation of changes, enrollments or cancellations relative to payroll deductions for all voluntary insurance coverages shall only be made in March (to be effective in May).  Changes in health insurance shall only be made in March, effective in May, or in any special open enrollment period designated by the Board.

 

2.

Payroll deductions for all professional dues shall be made from October through August, unless dues are paid on a continuous twelve-month basis.

 

3.

 Payroll adjustments relative to advanced degrees are subject to the following requirements:

 

a.

The advanced degree shall be properly recorded by the State Department on the employee's certificate, and thereupon submitted to the School Board Office before any salary adjustment can be made.

 

b.

The recording of said advanced degree and proper notification to the School Board office shall be the sole responsibility of the employee.

 

4.

Once an Absent from Duty Form or Travel Expense Form is signed by an employee and submitted to the School Board office by the principal, said form shall be considered an official record and cannot be withdrawn or adjusted.  Employees are cautioned to check all Absent from Duty Forms carefully before signing same.

 

5.

The salary due all employees going on leave, other than sabbatical leave, shall be paid in full on the payroll following the effective date of their leave.  Those desiring retirement on full salary should notify the bookkeeping department at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of leave.

 

6.

The amount of the State insurance reimbursement that is not used for dental insurance and the maintaining of the present hospitalization and health insurance, shall be paid to the employees in one check at the end of the fiscal year.
