Board policy: DLA
Questions? Please contact payroll@nwresd.k12.or.us
All district employees are paid on the last business day of the month.
District personnel may have their payroll check directly deposited to almost any bank or credit union. Employees can sign up for direct deposit in the Employee Web Portal (preferred method). Instructions are available in the staff resources shared drive: G:\Shared drives\Staff Resources (NWRESD All Staff)\Fiscal. Alternatively, staff can complete the Direct Deposit Agreement Form (Employee) - Form 41 and submit it to the payroll office.
Employees are strongly encouraged to use direct deposit. Funds deposited directly are available in your account on payday. Payroll checks are mailed on payday and will reach the employee approximately two business days later. Using direct deposit minimizes the chance of having a payroll check lost in the mail. Employees who require reimbursements for coursework or work-related expenses such as travel can receive refunds via direct deposit as well.

Payroll check options
Questions? Please contact payroll@nwresd.k12.or.us
All 12-month employees will have their annual salary divided by twelve, resulting in twelve equal paychecks beginning with the July pay date through the June pay date of the fiscal year. 190-day staff who work in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education who work a 12-month calendar will also be paid on this schedule.
All 190 day 10-month employees of the ESD on a school-age calendar, and who work the same hours per day and the same days per week, have the option of receiving their annual salary in 10 or 12 checks.
If you choose 12-pay, your annual salary is divided by 12, resulting in 12 equal paychecks beginning with the September pay date through the May pay date, with three “balance of contract” checks on the June pay date. This is the default option.
If you choose 10 checks, your annual salary is divided by 10, resulting in 10 equal paychecks beginning with the September pay date through the June pay date. There are no “balance of contract” checks in June. If an employee chooses this option, additional payroll deductions will be necessary in the final (June) check. To choose the 10 check option, you must complete Form 48 - Payroll Distribution form and return it to Payroll by June 30 prior to the start of the next fiscal year.
