When to expect my first paycheck?

by K. Kibo

Jul 11, 2013

I'm a new teacher starting out in Cherokee county. I know they payout monthly and they only offer 12 payments. I was hired June 14th and had all my documentation completed that week. I'm wondering when my first paycheck will come? I know it's common practice to "withhold" the first pay period, but if I was hired in mid-June and don't see a paycheck till the end of September...that's slightly asinine...100 days without pay?

Arabesque First, congrats on the new job! I'm almost certain your first check would be the 8/31 check. You can email personnel dept. for confirmation. They should reply pretty quickly. Good luck!

Former Teacher In many districts, first year teachers are paid from August to August timeline.

This means that you would be paid on a 13 month pay cycle, which will make your paychecks smaller during your first year (1/13th vs 1/12th), but you won't have to wait until September to receive your first check. In subsequent years, you will be paid on the September to August timeline, which will put you on the regular 12 month pay cycle.

Like everyone else have stated, contact your BOE to get your district's policy on newly hired teachers. However, HR should've clearly explained when you get paid once you were hired.

Keep in mind that you haven't officially started working yet, so you wouldn't be entitled to get paid for July anyway. You also wouldn't be entitled to a check in August since all school districts' payroll is on a cycle from September to August, but many districts will still give you an August check based on my explanation in the first paragraph so that you can survive financially.

Once you get your first paycheck, it's easy going, but it can seem like an eternity to get your first one. Good luck.
