Payroll 210 Badge #01 - New Hires & Orientation, Terminations/Retirement, I9, Immigration, DSHS Reporting-Payroll 210 Badge #1

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Sheila Witters (Asotin-Anatone School District) introduces WASBO Payroll 210 Certification Badge #1, covering new hires/orientations, terminations and retirement, I‑9/immigration compliance, and DSHS new-hire reporting. Learners must complete embedded knowledge checks, pass a final assessment at 75%+, and answer discussion board questions within five days.<br /><br />The course emphasizes that payroll staff must know where to find governing rules: Washington Administrative Code (WAC) as OSPI’s practical interpretation of Revised Code of Washington (RCW), especially Title 28A (common schools), plus the Common School Manual, district policies, and collective bargaining agreements. To reduce new-hire overwhelm and delays, districts should provide organized handbooks, orientations, and checklists with due dates.<br /><br />Key required onboarding items include I‑9 (completed within three days), W‑4, accurate Social Security verification, sexual misconduct disclosure requests, direct deposit, training access, workers’ comp information, SEBB (insurance) eligibility and enrollment deadlines, WA Cares (long-term care) notices, DRS retirement forms (status, plan selection within 90 days, eligibility worksheet; don’t keep beneficiary forms), and reporting all new hires to DSHS within 20 days via SAW.<br /><br />For separations/retirements, accurate separation vs. retirement dates are critical to avoid overpayments and DRS “return to work” issues; use separation checklists and coordinate closely with HR.
