Payroll Information

Pay Dates

Employees are paid on the fifteenth day and the last day of each month. If the fifteenth or the last day of the month occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, the payday will be the preceding work day. Employees wishing to change their withholding allowances or marital status should provide a completed W-4 form to the district’s Payroll Specialist. W-4 forms are available below.

Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is required for all employees and allows you to have your paycheck directly deposited into an account of your choosing on payday.  Account changes can be made by completing a Payroll Direct Deposit Authorization form (below) and bringing it to the District Office - 512 Industrial Blvd, Waconia, MN 55387.

Employee Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each employee to review their pay stubs and leave accounts regularly to ensure the accuracy of payments, benefits, and leave balances. Employees should promptly bring any questions, discrepancies, unexpected deductions, overpayments, or other concerns to the attention of the Payroll Department or Human Resources.

If an error is identified, the District will correct the mistake and retroactive adjustments will go back to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the error was discovered, unless otherwise required by law. Errors that result in overpayments must be reimbursed to the District.

Employees are encouraged to consistently check their pay and leave details. By actively monitoring pay and leave accounts, employees can help ensure that any discrepancies are addressed promptly, preventing misunderstandings or financial inconveniences.
