Staff calendars for the 2024-25 school year are now published on the Time and Attendance Documentation web page (under “Employees” or “Timekeepers”). Please use the published work calendars for guidance on your schedule rather than what you see on your future timecard, as timecards do not always show holidays and non-workdays until the actual work week.
Over the spring and summer of 2023, we required all employees covering dependents on our medical plan at that time to complete a Dependent Eligibility Review process. The review was conducted by Part D Advisors (PDA), an independent cost containment firm that specializes in conducting eligibility reviews. The purpose of the review was to ensure that all dependents enrolled on our plan met eligibility guidelines for coverage. All employees, retirees, and COBRA participants on our health plan who covered spouses/children were required to complete this process, which wrapped up in September. Since that time, all new dependents on the plan have undergone the same review process.
Beginning this month, PDA will begin random spot audits of dependents enrolled on our medical plan with the goal of reviewing all of our covered dependents at least once in a 3-year rolling period to ensure that we are continuing to cover eligible dependents in a fair and equitable manner.

The sooner you start planning for retirement, the easier it can be. If you wait, it could take much more per pay period to achieve the same goal. Let’s get started! Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation with one of our Nationwide consultants to learn more about Albemarle County’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan. Through a 457(b) plan, you can contribute to your account each pay period; invest that money so it can potentially grow into a lot more; and use tools to monitor your account and make adjustments as needed.

While you’re taking some well-deserved time away from your work over Spring Break, we encourage you to prioritize something equally important: your physical and financial well-being. Take advantage of the downtime and schedule an annual physical (Check out our BeWell Bucks campaign articles!) AND review your retirement savings strategies (Don’t have one? NOW is a great time to start!) with one of our Lincoln 403b, Nationwide 457, or Hybrid Plan/Commonwealth of Virginia 457 plan representatives. (Contact information is available on our Retirement Savings web page.) Take time to take care of YOU: Future YOU will thank you!
Also, remember: This week’s pay is the third payroll in March. The only deductions taken from a third payroll in a month are taxes, mandatory deductions like child support and garnishments, and payments for amounts owed. Normal deductions will resume in the April 12 pay. Please keep this in mind as you review your pay stub in the ADP Employee Portal.
