SALARY DEDUCTIONS

The DeSoto Parish School Board maintains that salary deductions which are considered statutory, including federal income tax, state income tax, retirement, etc., shall be deducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Any voluntary deductions desired by employees may be authorized by the Superintendent, when such action is determined to be in the best interest of the school system.  Said request shall be submitted in writing by the employee.  The employee shall also sign a form authorizing said salary deduction and verifying knowledge of all regulations governing salary deductions.  The School Board does not assume any liability for compliance with governing requirements and regulations.

The School Board shall only be responsible for making approved salary deductions as requested in writing by any employee of the School Board.  Under no circumstances shall special arrangements be made as to the commencement or transaction of salary deductions.
