The Business Office of the Jackson-Madison County School System provides the following benefits to all full-time employees.

ELECTRONIC DIRECT DEPOSIT

We offer an electronic direct deposit option for payroll distributions to all full-time employees. This option has been offered for the past several years and has proven ultimately effective. This option is especially convenient to our employees when payrolls fall on days when the schools are closed such as holidays or summer breaks.

To take advantage of this option, employees can complete the direct deposit application and return it to the business office with a voided check from the account where payrolls are to be direct deposited.

TAX DEFERRED ANNUITIES

Full-time employees have the option of contributing a portion of their regular pay to tax deferred retirement accounts. These accounts are set up in accordance with section 403B of the Internal Revenue Code. Their contributions are sheltered from federal income tax until the funds are drawn out of the account at retirement. A list of vendors who qualified to participate in this program is provided under forms.

SECTION 125 CAFETERIA PLAN

Full time employees who participate in the group medical, group dental, or certain supplemental insurance plans can elect to participate in the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan. Under this plan, the employee’s portion of the insurance premiums are excluded from taxable income for that year. This is the equivalent of receiving a 100% tax deduction for the premium on your tax return for an expenditure for which most taxpayers do not qualify under the current tax law.
