Biweekly Paid Employees

Biweekly paid employees include custodians, maintenance, food services, bus drivers and attendants, substitutes and temporary/hourly staff.

Biweekly paid employees are paid on a biweekly basis every other Friday, two weeks in arrears. Each work week begins on a Saturday and ends the following Friday; two work weeks comprise each biweekly pay period. For example, a two week pay period beginning on Saturday the 1st and ending on Friday the 14th, is paid on Friday the 28th.

Pay for any additional duty positions/jobs such as hourly clerical, community use, etc is also paid two weeks in arrears, on the same pay dates as regular pay, and in a separate payment. For example, additional duties worked during a two week pay period beginning on Saturday the 1st and ending on Friday the 14th, is paid on Friday the 28th.

Receiving Pay During Non-Contract Months

If you do not work 12 months of the year, but are interested in receiving money during your non-working months, you can do either of the following:

1. Allow FCPS to save money for you under our "Summer Fund" option:
   
   FCPS will withhold a set percent of each paycheck so that you will receive level pay throughout the year, including the months when you don't work. Under this plan, you cannot access this money early. Your pay advice shows the balance of this account throughout the year. It is then disbursed in two (11-month employees) or three (10-month employees) installments during the summer. No taxes or deductions are withheld at the time this disbursement is made.
   
   
2. You may transfer funds to a "Savings Plan" of your choice.
   
   You can designate a flat dollar amount to be withheld from each regular payment and transferred to a financial institution of your choosing. This allows you to earn interest on your money and save for your own summer pay. You withdraw your money when you need it. This savings plan option is available in addition to the current options to have a flat amount direct deposited to the Apple Federal Credit Union and your net pay direct deposited to your primary bank account.
   
   If you are a biweekly employee, you will not be automatically enrolled in the Summer Fund option. To start participation in the "Summer Fund" program, or stop participation if you had previously opted in, complete the Summer Fund Withholding Authorization Agreement (Form FS73-13)and submit it to the Office of Payroll Management by October 1 of the year you wish to make the change.
