Q: How come after the first few paychecks I receive a different amount?
A: Due to the registration process of the State of New Jersey pension fund, your pension deduction does not go into effect immediately. Therefore, you will owe money to your pension fund resulting in double pension contributions until the back pension contributions are satisfied. Once your back deductions have been fulfilled, your paycheck will commence with the normal pension amount. Please be prepared for this deduction and set money aside.
Q: What is a flexible spending account?
A: This is an optional account that you can contribute to for either medical and/or childcare services. The district allows for the federal maximum deduction. Please be aware these funds become available to you on a calendar year basis NOT academic year.
Q: Where do I file a claim?
A: Contact your insurance provider for any and all claims.
Q: Why enroll in a disability program?
A: The district does not offer state disability. The Business Office highly recommends all staff members to enroll in a disability program.
