The school district updated its payroll system to align with new IRS regulations, resulting in some employees having their taxes over-withheld. Impacted employees have the option to receive an immediate refund or wait for a tax refund in 2025. The payroll team, facing vacancies and increased workload, was affected by the recent water crisis, leading to delays in processing pay documents. WRIC reports that eligible hourly employees will be compensated for the week missed due to the water crisis in their Jan. 31 paycheck.
