Employees who are currently enrolled in direct deposit will not be affected by emergency paycheck distribution. Employees hired after Feb. 1, 2001, are required to participate in direct deposit. All other employees are encouraged to use the direct deposit system. The Employee and Retiree Service Center web site has a link to the direct deposit enrollment form.

Please note that when emergency procedures are in effect, no special arrangements for emergency paycheck distribution will be offered.

Delayed opening or early closing
Normal paycheck distribution procedures will be followed.

Schools closed, administrative and central offices open
Checks for school-based employees will be available from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the CESC auditorium. Picture identification is required, and written authorization from the employee must be presented when picking up a paycheck other than your own. Any checks not distributed will be delivered to the schools on the next business day when schools are open. Employees located in administrative and central offices that remain open will have normal paycheck distribution.*

Systemwide closing
Watch MCPS cable channels 33 and 34 or listen to the local radio and television stations for check distribution information. Every effort will be made to distribute paychecks from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the CESC auditorium. If weather conditions prohibit check distribution during that time or employees cannot pick up their checks, checks will be distributed to all schools and central and administrative offices on the next scheduled business day.
