Non-Evaluation Year Teachers and Administrators

From Sherry Samples
Please review your list in Talent Ed Perform, and for those employees that show a non evaluation year process, you must enter at least one date that you have consulted with the employee. You then need to check the box in the lower right hand corner to “Mark Process Complete.”

Those that are not marked by December 1, will not roll over properly for the next process in the evaluation cycle.

Thank you to those of you who have already taken care of this based upon prior requests.

Surplus Furniture/Equipment

From Robert Young
All requests to have excess furniture or equipment removed from your building/department should be directed to the Purchasing Department. If you have items for which you no longer have a need, the Purchasing Department will make arrangements for the movement of these items. Free surplus furniture/equipment will be posted out to all buildings/departments by the Inventory Specialist as a part of the process. This inventory will then be auctioned if there is no need within the organization. This will allow for the proper tracking of fixed assets within the District, which in turn assists record keeping relating to insurance, etc. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Delivery method of your 2016 W-2

From Kristen Woodbury
At the end of May we changed our Payroll software and now it is time to capture how you would like to receive you W-2 in January 2017. Watch for notification in the next few weeks about the selection of how you want to receive your W-2. We will let you know via an all-user email and the Staff Notebook.
You will make the selection by logging into Employee Online. More details to come??? we will let you know when it is available.

Thank you all,
From Your Payroll Team

No Medical, Dental or Vision Insurance Premiums in December

From Kristen Woodbury
In an effort to make insurance premium deductions coming out of your paycheck match the calendar year of insurance coverage, we are moving from paying our insurance premiums a month in advance to the current month.

So, what does this mean?
A month off from paying insurance premiums!!
Your December premiums were paid on your November paychecks.
For your 12/15/16 and 12/30/16 paychecks, there will be no deduction for:

Medical, dental or vision insurance
Any other coverage you currently pay for is already for the current month so they will be deducted from your two December paychecks.
For example: life, short term disability or critical care coverage, flex spending & h.s.a accounts

Am I still covered for December?
Yes, the premium deductions taken out of your November paychecks were for your December coverage so as long as you were paid in November and your insurance deductions came out of your paycheck then your December premiums are paid.

What happens in 2017?
The insurance premiums that will come out of your January 2017 paychecks will be for the coverage you selected in open enrollment for the 2017 coverage. Due to this shift, now your paycheck deductions will reflect the premiums paid for that month.

***SPECIAL NOTE
If you just enrolled for 2016 coverage or had a recent qualifying life event and have set up a schedule with the Benefits office you will be paying premiums in December.

Thanks,
From Your KCKPS Benefits Team
