Annual Sick Leave Buy Back Opportunity


It's that time of year again when you may have the opportunity to buy back your 2015 unused sick leave.  To be eligible to buy back your unused sick leave you must have a balance of at least 60 days sick leave as of the end of 2015.  Here are some SLBB Commonly Asked Questions that may be helpful in making your decision to buy back or not.  If you are eligible, and choose to take advantage of this benefit, please return the SLBB Application Form to Payroll by January 31, 2016. This policy is in accordance with WAC 392-136-015.

You May Receive a Form 1095C in January

Your payroll department has been working hard to get ready for new reporting requirements to stay in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.  Please be aware that you may receive a form 1095C in January, which reports your medical benefit status with the district. This new form will be in addition to your normal W2 form.  You may also receive a form 1095B from your medical insurance provider.  Both these forms are to be used when filing your 2015 IRS taxes.  Please consult your tax adviser if you have questions on how to report these forms.

December 2nd Snow Day - Make Up on March 11

Our first snow day of the school year on Wednesday, December 2nd will be made up on Friday, March 11.  Since Dec 2nd was an early release day, the make up day on Friday, the 11th will also be an early release day.  Please leave the December 2nd date blank on your time sheet. (Year round employees are to report to work or take emergency leave if unable to make it in due to unsafe road conditions.) If you have questions, please don't hesitate to email Cyndi or Becky in Payroll.
