Teachers' Pay Update #3

We received a memo at the office today regarding the board's plans to reimburse teachers who faced a high deduction on their June pay. From the memo...

"...we are also aware that many employees budget for the extra funds during the summer months. In order to assist you, we will be issuing a one-time payment to affected staff on July 23^rd based on the tax deducted according to each person’s individual pay. This amount will be deposited directly into your bank account as per our regular pay procedures."

We hope to be made aware of the exact amount each teacher can expect by tomorrow at the latest. All updates will be posted on the website. When final information is received, we will also email Branch Presidents.

While not pleased with events and procedures which have brought us to this point with so little time left in the school year, we will be ready to work with the board to ensure the tax deductions for the 2010-2011 year can be adjusted to better support the membership going into future summers.
