Total Compensation Statements to Be Mailed in August  

The Department of Human Resources will mail annual total compensation statements to employees’ homes in August. The total compensation statement is customized for each employee. It reflects your salary, including the July 1 market adjustment increase and the dollar value of the benefits FCPS provides through its health and retirement plans. The statement also includes information about your benefit elections and additional information about the many benefits and programs FCPS offers. Combined, your salary and the value of your benefits represent a total compensation package.

FCPS Online Classifieds System Free for Employees

(Note: If you are trying to access the classifieds from your home computer over the summer, you will need to use VPN, as the classifieds are located on the FCPS intranet.)

The FCPS Online Classifieds system—which can be found on FCPSnet (the FCPS employee intranet) at http://commapps.fcps.edu/classifieds—is a free way for employees to post ads for personally owned items that they are seeking to buy, sell, or give away, such as electronics, real estate, items for children, fitness and sports equipment, furniture, pets, cars, and tickets. It's also a great tool to help an employee look for someone to share a ride to work, find a roommate, or rent real estate.  

Due to server restrictions, electronic photos cannot be uploaded along with postings. Feel free to include information in your posting that a picture is available by e-mail upon request. For answers to some other frequently asked questions, go to http://commapps.fcps.edu/classifieds/FAQ.cfm.

Ads for employee-owned businesses or school or workplace fund-raisers will not be accepted. A complete list of rules of use can be found at http://commapps.fcps.edu/classifieds/Policy.cfm.

The FCPS Online Classifieds system is completely self-service and allows users to post new ads or update or renew existing ads at any time. Highlights and security features of the FCPS Online Classifieds system include:

• A user must log in using his or her existing FCPS network user name and password.
  
• A user must agree to the posted conditions before submitting an ad. A user cannot use his or her FCPS phone number or e-mail address as a listed point of contact.
  
• Active ads are searchable by date, category, and keyword.
  
• Ads will be reviewed by the system administrator before they are posted online. Ads will be approved or denied within two to three business days or as soon as resources allow. An automatic e-mail will be sent upon approval or denial to a user who includes a personal e-mail address as part of his or her contact information.
  
• A user who includes a personal e-mail address as part of his or her contact information will receive an automatic e-mail reminder before the ad is set to expire.
