Notices

GARNISHMENT AND STUDENT LOAN INFORMATION
RCBOE will withhold any student loan, child support, or other garnishments based on documentation received from the Courts. If you believe that you are being garnished incorrectly, please reach out to the Court system. Unless or until we receive notification to stop a garnishment, we must follow the Court order on file.
Garnishments on federal student loans that passed as part of the CARES Act were deferred through September 1, 2023 when interest began to accrue on any outstanding loans. Withholdings began again on October 15, 2023 unless we received further guidance. Should you have any questions about the status of these garnishments, please contact your loan provider.
Changes to Annuities must be submitted to Payroll for processing. Please allow sufficient time to review and make corrections to your payroll. Note that changes may not take effect until the following payroll cycle.
Certificate of Absence is required to be submitted to the School or Department bookkeeper in advance of known absences, or immediately upon return. A failure to sign or turn-in a Certificate of Absence in a timely manner does not relieve the employee of the responsibility of taking sick, vacation or other leave.
