10. Payroll
Discussion

As payroll was prepared for the new fiscal year, each employee's payroll required adjustments to be made due to the pay raises.  The superintendent's contract says that he will receive raises only when other employees receive raises. Payroll personnel included the 2% raise to the salary noted on the superintendent's contract.  However, payroll personnel were not aware that the superintendent's contract was a new contract effective July 1, 2018, and the salary within the contract is/was to be the superintendent's salary for FY2019.  The superintendent's payroll will be adjusted and corrected to reflect the compensation as designated in his contract.
