Summary

The board approved changing summer pay dates for 9-, 10- and 11-month employees so the final two paydates remain consistent across 12 months, with final paychecks scheduled on June 25 and July 25 (or nearest business day). The change followed a district survey with 69% support.

The Obion County Board of Education voted Sept. 2 to change summer pay dates for 9-, 10- and 11-month employees so the final two pay dates match the district's 12-month payroll schedule.

Director Tim Watkins said a survey of affected employees found that 69 percent requested the change. If implemented, affected employees "will receive their final two (2) pay dates on the 25th of June and July (or closest business day)," Watkins told the board. The motion to approve was made by Tim Britt and seconded by Chris Akin. MOTION CARRIED.

The minutes do not report the total number of employees who responded to the survey, any fiscal modeling of cash-flow impacts, or changes to payroll processing steps. The board approved the change on Watkins' recommendation. The minutes list average daily membership (ADM) as 2,753 as of Aug. 29 elsewhere in the Director's update but do not connect ADM to payroll changes.
