3 December 2007 - Retirement Incentive
State code {§18-2-2(g)} provides for a $500 bonus to classroom teachers who provide written notification to the Board of Education prior to the first day of February of their intention to retire from their positions at the conclusion of the current school year (2007-08).
In addition, the local school board policy exists for persons who state their intent to retire, but who do not meet eligibility requirements until after the end of the current school year (2007-08). This policy of the Board is to extend the $500 bonus to classroom teachers who submit a written notification of their intent to retire by no later than October 1 of the new school year (2008-09). This notification must also be received prior to February 1 of the current school term (2007-08) which will allow the Board sufficient time to recruit a replacement for the retiring teacher.

5 April 2007 update of 21 February 2005 Memo
To: All Employees • From: J. P. Mowery / Vicki Hammer • Re: Sick Leave Bank

• What is a "Sick Leave Bank"? A Sick Leave Bank is a voluntary employee benefit program developed to provide additional leave to employees who have suffered a serious illness or injury after they have exhausted their own leave.
• Please read the sick leave bank policy (5 pgs. 127kb) approved by the Board of Education at last night's meeting.
• To enroll in the sick leave, forms must be submitted to the payroll department by S30 September of the current school year. Example: For fiscal year 2008, forms must be submitted by 30 September 2007.
• Please call either J. P. or Vicki with any questions or you may e-mail us at jmowery@access.k12.wv.us or vhammer@access.k12.wv.us

27 March 2007 Memo
To: Substitute Custodians and Cooks • From: Vicki Hammer • Re: Half Days
This memo is to clear up some confusion on what constitutes half days vs. full days for service subs and what it includes. Substitutes working one half day should work 3½ hours without a lunch break. Anything over 3½ hours is considered a full day and a lunch break is allowed.

19 January 2006 Memo
To: All Employees • From: Vicki Hammer • Re: WV State Tax Changes
• Please note on your WV State Tax withholding that the rates have changed. West Virginia has added a "Two Earner / Two or More Jobs" tax table which withholds more state tax. In most cases the increase is NOT significant. All employees will have withholdings based on the new tax tables (higher) unless a new WV Withholding Certificate is completed, with option 5 selected.
• The easiest way to see how the change will affect you withholding is to compare this check with the December 20th check. This will not work for substitutes or for regular employees with different amounts of supplemental pay.
• To have a lesser amount withheld, mark #5 on the Withholding Certificate. Also remember to put the total number of exemptions on line 4 even if you are not changing them. Some of you currently have an additional amount withheld each paycheck. Should you wish to add or change this amount you will need to complete the new form. To remove the additional withholding, simply send me a signed and dated note to that effect.
• Make sure to sign and date the new Certificate if you are making changes.

2005

September 2005 - Pay Raise Legislation Joe Panetta, of the Office of School Finance, explains the pay raise legislation passed recently. The salary increases for the current year are effective the first day of the second quarter of each employee's employment term, which is November 1 for a majority of teachers. That means that professionals will receive an across-the-board increase of $1,013 this year, and service professionals will receive an across-the-board increase of $675 this year. Read the entire explanation.

18 February 2005 Memo
To: All Employees • From: Vicki Hammer • Re: How PEIA insurance affects retirement

• Most of you are aware that when you retire accrued sick and annual leave may be used to extend your employer paid insurance coverage or to increase retirement benefits. What you may not realize is that if you do not carry at least the PEIA basic life insurance these two options are not available to you.
• Employees hired on or after July 1, 2001 are not eligible to use leave to extend paid insurance coverage but may use it to increase retirement benefits. We have made every effort to contact those that have no PEIA coverage so they can take advantage of the Basic Life Insurance at no cost to them. However, if you are unsure of your current coverage please feel free to contact me and verify that you are covered at least under the Basic Life Plan.
