Sarah Palmer, Director of Payroll
Daniel Ellis, Director of Accounting
SUBJECT:
Independent Contractors and URS
Retirees receiving a monthly benefit from Utah Retirement Services have restrictions when returning to work. Re-employment includes work or service performed on a contract for a participating employer if the retiree is listed as the contractor; or an owner, partner, or principal of the contractor.
If it is discovered that a URS retiree failed to report reemployment in violation of Title 49, "…the retiree and employer who is found to be responsible for the failure to report, are liable to the office for the amount of any overpayment resulting from the violation." Utah Code Ann. § 49-11-1207(2).
The attached URS Post-Retired Verification form must be completed by the Independent Contractor along with their W-9, and then will need to be sent into the Payroll Department each month along with your payroll. Please do not send the W-9 forms to Payroll.
If you have any questions, please email sarah.palmer@jordandistrict.org, or call the Payroll Department at (801) 567-8154.
Thank you.
Please see attached flyer.
Administrators/Directors/Principals:
Please share this post with your building custodian(s). Thank you!
"What is the Mastery Leadership Institute? The Mastery Leadership Institute (“MLI”) is an executive-style program designed to empower school and district leaders to become dynamic users of data. It begins with a three-day working retreat focused on how to effectively use data to target interventions, personalize learning, and evaluate instructional efficacy, followed by virtual coaching sessions."
This opportunity is for the individual session only, which includes one seat to the MLI, conference materials, and meals. The cost is typically $2000 per participant, but they are offering these spots to us at no charge. If you have questions or are interested in attending, please email Mandy Thurman at mandy.thurman@jordandistrict.org with your name, school and position by Monday, November 4th. Spots will be filled on a first come basis.
Reminder: We will be providing a course designed for school administrators and their administrative assistants to more fully understand the budget planning process. Participants will be expected to bring information needed to complete at least one of their budgets that includes employee costs (i.e. TSSA, Trustlands, Title I, In Lieu, etc.)
You will need to bring a current Skyward detail report for the target budget that includes all salary and benefit expenses. The course will focus on looking up salary information in Skyward, determining loaded salary expenses, and how to review and revise budgets based on ongoing Skyward budget reports. This is an introductory course but each participant will leave with at least one budget plan completed. If possible, it would be best to have the administrator and administrative assistant attend and learn together. Class sizes will be limited. You only need to register for one of the sections.
Please register in JPLS. All courses will be offered at the District Office, Room 129.
Please bring your laptop (most tablets cannot run Excel).
