Payroll 110 Badge #1 - PowerPoint

Pdf Summary

This document introduces WASBO’s official Payroll Certification curriculum (Badge #1: Introduction to Payroll) and explains how the program is structured, what it covers, and how it supports payroll staff. The Payroll Series is divided into three sections—Payroll 110, 210, and 310—each containing about 7–8 “badges” focused on specific payroll topics. Participants may complete the full series for certification or take individual badges to learn a targeted subject. Examples of specialized badges include “Death of an Employee,” which covers required steps such as leave cash-outs, final pay, and retirement notifications, and “Garnishments,” which explains types, processing requirements, and penalties for errors.<br /><br />The module emphasizes that payroll success depends on accuracy, timely communication, and teamwork across the district. It encourages building connections with colleagues through meetings, workshops, working groups, and networking, and staying current via newsletters and updates from agencies such as DRS, SEBB, PFML, IRS, and L&I. It also provides a reference list of common payroll acronyms (e.g., ACA, FMLA, FLSA, DRS, SEBB) and links to key external resources and portals.<br /><br />Practical tools are highlighted, including checklists, forms (new hire/change/separation), monthly task lists, shared drives for continuity, and standard reports (e.g., contract balance, variance, omitted deductions/benefits, direct deposit/ACH, board certification).<br /><br />Finally, it outlines certification requirements for the CSBS Payroll track: complete and pass all payroll badges with at least 75%, pass School Accounting 1, submit the CSBS application packet with documentation, and obtain board approval. Assessments generally allow one attempt, and earning a badge also requires completing discussion board participation.
