Semi-Monthly Payroll
Effective July 2022, Dutchess County BOCES will be implementing a semi-monthly payroll cycle and discontinuing the traditional bi-weekly (every other Friday) process.
Standard pay dates will be the 15th and 30th of each month. Should these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, payments would be made on the work day immediately preceding. For example, October 15, 2022 is a Saturday, so payday will be Friday the 14th. In the weeks ahead, additional information will be provided through the Payroll department, specifically for employees paid on timesheets and those with administrative responsibility for their timely submission.
Vesting Requirements
New legislation has changed the vesting requirements for Tier 5 and 6 members from 10 years to 5 years. For more details visit the New York Retirement News official website: https://www.nyretirementnews.com/becoming-vested/
