Payroll is a service-oriented department. Our goal is to assist employees and administrative departments to process payroll information, answer inquiries, and resolve problems. Besides issuing bi-weekly payroll checks, the payroll department performs the following functions:
- Calculates monthly compensation in accordance with Federal, State and District regulations. We currently have six distinct employee groups as well as hourly employees, such as substitutes.
- Processes and maintains detailed records on various types of employees. In many cases, this involves multiple rates of compensation and financial accounts.
- Reports wages/hours to various state and federal agencies such as the Department of Labor, Arizona State Retirement System and the Social Security Administration.
- Calculates and withholds payments for over 80 different types of voluntary and mandatory deductions from employee paychecks.
PUSD’s biweekly payroll period starts on Tuesday and runs through the Monday before payday.
