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: Substitute Teacher/Nurse $130.00 per day for the first 10 consecutive days** $140.00 per day on the 11th day ** $190.00 on the 21st consecutive day** **Consecutive days in the SAME ASSIGNMENT Non- Certified Substitute Pay: Regular Ed Associate: Special Ed Associate: Library Media Associate: Severe & Profound Assoc.: Administrative Secretaries: Nutrition/Food Service Transportation/Bus Driver Building & Grounds/Custodian $12.94 per hour $12.94 per hour $12.94 per hour $13.52 per hour $14.00 per hour $12.27 per hour $14.23 per hour $15.10 per hour 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. NOTICE OF CONTINUANCE OF SERVICE 10
Each school year substitutes are needed to temporarily replace teachers who find it necessary to be absent from their teaching responsibilities. Those substitute teachers who wish to return for the coming school year are invited to do so and will receive a verification of interest form mailed to their home in the summer preceding the upcoming school year. The form is to be completed and returned prior to the beginning of the school year (a specific return date is usually included on the form each year). NOTICE OF DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICE Any substitute who chooses to discontinue his/her service as a substitute in the Johnston Community School District must indicate this either on the Substitute Verification Form received during the summer or they must submit a letter of resignation. Either way, you must state the reason you will no longer substitute for Johnston Schools. Letters should be addressed as follows: Dr. James A. Casey, ED.D. Associate Superintendent for Human Resources Johnston Community School District, P.O. Box 10, Johnston, IA 50131 CONCLUSION The role of the substitute teacher is a challenging one.
