Dear Schools and Departments:

We have a situation where 40 brand new chairs have been delivered to Bingham High School, and the school is unable to use them for their area.

School Specialty is offering to sell these chairs at a discount if any other school in the district would be interested in taking them.

They are the National Public Seating Cafetorium Stack Chairs, with a thin upholstered black vinyl seat, black plastic back on Chrome Frame with sled base legs on glides.  These are a regular table height chair, not cafe/bar height.   Here is a picture:

Bingham's price to purchase was $69.93/each.  School Specialty is offering these at $50.00/each ($2,000 for all 40 chairs).   One box has been opened, but most are still boxed and all are in new condition.

Please contact Tonya Hodges in the Purchasing Department by Wednesday, November 20th by end of day if you are interested in purchasing these chairs.

We will be providing a course designed for program directors 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. Aware, Youth-in-Custody, Title 1, 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 program director and administrative assistant attend and learn together. Class size will be limited.

Please register in JPLS. All courses will be offered at the District Office, Room 129.

Please bring your laptop (most tablets cannot run Excel).

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.

SUBJECT:     
FTE Audit Report 2019-20

As promised, this year the FTE Audit Report may be completed electronically!

The HR administrators are excited to offer an electronic FTE audit report to all directors. Timelines for completing the audit are outlined below:

Electronic FTE Audit Process:

  • November 4, 2019 – HR will share with directors and department administrative assistants the FTE Audit Report via Google Sheets. Please review the report with your administrative assistant. The report will include verification of faculty/staff, FTE, title and budget code(s). Please refer to the “Instructions” sheet in the document for assistance in completing the audit.
  • November 11, 2019 – DUE DATE for the FTE Audit Report to be completed for HR to process. Please email an HR Administrator when you have completed your audit.
  • THE BEST NEWS OF ALL – All corrections made on the FTE Audit Report will be made by HR upon return. Change forms will not be required; however, new hires not listed on the report will require the submission of a hire sheet to HR.

We are hopeful the electronic version of the FTE Audit Report process will be an improvement for you and your staff. Please feel free to share any feedback regarding this process with an HR administrator. We will consider all suggestions and work to improve this process for future use.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
