Substitute Handbook - Johnston Community School District

PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS
Substitutes are paid on the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH, or the last Friday if the last day falls
on a weekend. In order for you to receive payment by the end of the month, the building
secretary's office must have the proper substitute time sheet by the 15th of the month. Time
sheets are tracked by the building secretary. It is the responsibility of the Substitute to verify the
time worked is recorded properly. It is highly recommended that the substitute track time worked
in the event of discrepancies. If you are new to our district, Ann Rohlfsen at the Administrative
Resource Center will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have regarding the
completion of the necessary payroll paperwork. Pay Rates for our substitutes are as follows:

Iowa Senate File 2222 effective July 1, 2008 mandates that if you choose to receive an actual pay-­‐
check rather than Direct Deposit, the school district cannot mail your paycheck until you sign and
return the Payroll Check Mailing form available at the district office. Failure to return this form
will result in your paycheck remaining at the district office until you pick it up. By choosing Direct
Deposit, your paycheck is instantly deposited into your bank account on payday and a non-­negotiable
direct deposit receipt is mailed to you for your records. The District HIGHLY
ENCOURAGES Direct Deposit, which eliminates lost paychecks and delayed check reissues. Direct
Deposit also helps avoid the confusion of paychecks to be mailed verses paychecks required to be
held at the district office. A Payroll Direct Deposit form is available in your substitute packet and
at the district office.
WITHHOLDING FROM PAY
Federal and state taxes and the employee's social security payments are withheld from each
paycheck, as required by law. IPERS will also be deducted after earning $1,000.00 in two
consecutive quarters.
BENEFITS
Substitute teachers are covered by the district's liability insurance and by worker's compensation.
In addition, the district contributes the employer's contribution percent to social security for each
substitute.
