Salaries, supplements, payments for extra duties, payments for special assignments, and reimbursements shall be paid through and by Fiscal Services. No payments are to be made directly to employees by the local school administration, booster club, or other community organizations. Employees may not accept additional pay or benefits from any individual, group, or organization other than Horry County Schools for activities associated with their job responsibilities. See, also: “Method of payment of salaries . . . .”

The District prefers for employees to enroll in the direct deposit program. Exception for new employees must be approved by the Chief Finance and Human Resources Officer or his/her designee. If an employee does not complete the paperwork necessary for the District to enroll the employee in the direct deposit program, the employee’s paycheck, at the District’s option, will be distributed to the employee on payday or mailed on the workday before payday to the employee’s last known home address as recorded in the District computer database in the Division of Finance and Human Resources. Employees should allow at least five days for delivery before contacting Payroll. After Payroll is notified of undelivered checks, there will be a 24-hour wait between the issue of a stop payment and the replacement of the check. Payroll checks cannot be picked up.

An employee is responsible for notifying the District of changes in his/her name and/or address by obtaining an address and name change form through the Horry County Schools’ website at location http://apps.hcs.k12.sc.us/apps/slog/ on the Internet or from school/division bookkeepers. The completed address change form must be returned to Employee Benefit Services.
