9 MISCELLANEOUS Emergency Delays and Closings If it is necessary to close or delay the start of school due to inclement weather, power failure or any other emergency , the Superintendent will notify the media of the closing. Employees are to listen to local radio and television stations for information. Employees may also sign up for electronic notification by downloading the ParentSquare App that allows for open communication through message, alerts, email, and text. ParentSquare information can be found on the HCCSC website. In the event of a 2- hour delay or school closing Classified Staff have the below options: • Classified staff will be able to use any accrued benefit days available (sick or personal) – the employee must indicate this on their time sheet. • If the Classified employee does not wish to use a benefit day but would like to make up the hours lost, the hours MUST be made up in that same work week. The employee will need to report to their supervisor that they are wishing to make up the hours lost, and it will be the responsibility of the supervisor to assign tasks that are related to the job for the employee to make up those hours during the same work week. • If the Classified employee choose none of the options listed above, the day can be unpaid. Direct Deposit of Paychecks HCCSC electronically deposits employee bi -weekly payroll checks into a personal savings or checking account. This process provides an easier, safer and faster deposit of wages and eliminates the problem of lost checks and late deposits. Based on the payroll cycle, it is possible that an employee’s first pay may be twenty working days after a start date. Employees needing to make a change or update to their direct deposit must provide the Payroll Department with banking verification (voided check or documentation from financial institution providing routing and account number.) Payroll Procedures/Discrepancies Contact the Payroll Department as soon as a discrepancy is noticed. Corrections to payroll will be made on the next pay date after notification. Employees should report any overpayment immediately to the HCCSC payroll department. Any overpayments will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck(s) after a two (2) week written notice is provided to the employee. The amount deducted for overpayment in any given paycheck shall not exceed the lesser of 25% of the employee’s disposable earnings for that w eek or the amount by which the employee’s disposable earnings for that week exceed thirty (30) times the federal minimum hourly wage in effect at the time the earnings are payable. Emergency Contact Information Each HCCSC employee is required to fill out an annual emergency contact form, which will be kept in the building that you work. Contact your building Clinic Nurse/ Assistant for the form to complete annually.
