Welcome Back!! Just wanted to let you know that we will have Surplus Reallocation and Auctions running on PublicSurplus.com starting Thursday, August 24th through Thursday, Sept 7 and then the reallocation items will roll to public auction for the week following. Remember reallocation items are marked with a key icon, everything else in on the public auction. Please check to see if there are any items you may need at your schools. To see our items go to PublicSurplus.com or http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/list/current?sma=y.

Please keep sending in your surplus paperwork as you get it so that we can continue to schedule pick ups as they are needed. All paperwork needs to be signed by your principal and then sent up to your Area Administrator at the District Office.

If you have any questions, please contact Kris Wishart (801) 567-8709 or Corie Fuller (801) 567-8717.

Thanks again for all your help.

Beginning this new school year, the Payroll Department will no longer accept paper time sheets for current True Time employees.  Using True Time for all of their pay (even for one hour) will:

  • Prevent duplicate pay and overlapping time
  • Avoid lost time sheets
  • Keep personal information secure in the system
  • Track all hours worked as required by Utah Retirement Systems and overtime pay laws
  • Assist in the accuracy and efficiency of budget reporting

Please email keelee.leuluai@jordandistrict.org (preferred), or call Payroll to set up the proper pay code(s) for True Time. Time sheets received in Payroll for current True Time employees during the school year will be returned, and Payroll will assist and train the employees on how to enter the information from the time sheet into True Time (pool hours, testing, playground, etc).

Please let all current True Time employees at your location know of these changes.

Due to reporting requirements, the following currently do not use True Time: insulin shots, Home & Hospital, USTAR, athletic and activity differentials, and Camps & Clinics (high schools).

Please contact Payroll if you have concerns so we can better accommodate your needs.

We appreciate your ongoing support and assistance in paying Jordan District employees.

Don’t forget the annual Administrative Leadership Conference scheduled for August 3-4, 2017 at Elk Ridge Middle School. On Thursday, August 3rd a light breakfast will be served at 7:30 a.m. with the conference beginning promptly at 8:00 a.m. at Elk Ridge.

The activity on Friday, August 4th will begin at Mulligans Golf and Games. Assignments for the activity will be emailed in the next few days.

See you then!
