  1. Bath Township Payroll Change

  2. On August 6th, the Board of Trustees approved the following recommendation. • The Payroll Task Force recommends the transition to bi-weekly payroll dates, beginning January 1, 2013. All labor agreements would reflect hourly rates of compensation for all employees, and rates would be rounded to cents. All incentives would be reflected as hourly rates. • The Payroll Task Force also recommends the purchase of the Kronos accrual tracking software module. This purchase will eliminate the need to manually change data. It is necessary to purchase this software to create a seamless operability within the accrual tracking.
