The most substantial payment of public funds for the operation of the District is that which is made to the employees of the Board for services rendered. To ensure that each person so compensated is validly employed by this District and that the compensation remitted fairly represents the services rendered, this policy is promulgated.

Employment of all District personnel whether by the year, term, month, week, day, or hour in contract or temporary form must be approved by the Board, except where authority to appoint certain personnel of the District has been delegated to the Superintendent in Policy 1120, Employment of Administrators; Policy 3120 Employment of Instructional Staff; and Policy 4120 Employment of Support Staff.

Each motion of the Board to employ or reemploy a staff member shall include the name of the individual, the position title, and the effective date of employment. Salaries of all employees shall be determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Superintendent and shall be outlined in the annual salary schedule adopted by the Board. Payment shall be based on the duly-adopted salary schedule for each position. From time to time, payments in the form of a bonus or other legally-directed payment may be made, even if not reflected in an adopted salary schedule.

Payroll reports shall be submitted for all Board employees and shall be signed by a designated administrative employee. Such reports shall be supported, where applicable, by the time records.

Payroll schedules shall be established administratively to ensure that the employees are paid promptly and in accordance with Florida statutes.

Full-time and part-time regular, probationary, and temporary employees shall be paid at the regular established pay period. The work week shall be Sunday through Saturday.

The Federal Wage and Hour Law shall prevail for overtime and extra-curricular work. Except under emergency conditions requiring protection of Board property, all overtime work shall have advance written authorization by the appropriate assistant superintendent or designee. The request for overtime payment, accompanied by written authorization, shall be submitted bi-weekly to the Payroll Office.
