Payroll Information Update
August 23, 2007
STIPEND PAYMENT CHANGES:
Due to IRS guidelines, the payment of stipends by NKESC to our employees has been changed. Previously, those payments were issued as vendor payments. Beginning July 1, 2007, those stipend payments will be considered taxable wages and will be paid through the payroll system. The exception will be when a staff member is working off contract time as a presenter for NKESC, compensation for this situation will be paid as a vendor payment and no taxes will be withheld. Stipend forms will need to be completed for either situation and submitted to the Business Office not later than the 5th of the month.
OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE:
September is open enrollment for the NKESC health insurance group. If you are eligible for health insurance and would like to make a change to your policy, you may do so during the month of September for an October 1 effective date. The forms needed to make changes have been posted to the website. If you have questions or need help with a form, please contact Ann Rath. Please remember that Blue Cross must receive your change form before September 30th in order for your change to be allowed. Also, any changes in premium must be withheld from your September 20th paycheck, so please submit your completed change forms to Ann not later than September 10th if possible. Changes received after this date may require a double-deduct from your October paycheck.
