Payroll Services

Welcome to Payroll Services.  The Payroll Services Department processes semi-monthly and monthly payrolls for Board appointed and temporary hourly employees of the School Board of Sarasota County.  Employee leave balances are maintained and payroll deductions are processed including professional dues, leaves, and garnishments.  In addition to processing your payroll check, our department is responsible for tax withholding and wage reporting to the Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Florida Department of Unemployment and the Florida Retirement System.

SCS employees may view the Payroll Calendar, their attendance, payroll, deduction information and W2 Forms via the Employee Portal through the School Board Website at sarasotacountyschools.net or by clicking on the link to the portal:
