Team D11,

We’re excited to share that D11 is transitioning from a monthly pay schedule to a semi-monthly pay schedule! This update helps us stay competitive, supports financial planning, and reflects our continued commitment to supporting our amazing employees.

Ready to hear all of the details? This video provides details on the semi-monthly pay changes. 

---

 What’s Changing (and What’s Not) 

With semi-monthly pay, you’ll receive two predictable paychecks each month instead of one. 

What stays the same:

• Your total annual and monthly pay
• Your benefits, leave accruals, and eligibility
• Direct deposit account (no change, no action needed) 

What’s new:

• 24 paychecks per year instead of 12
• Paydays on the 1st and 16th of each month
• Easier budgeting with consistent pay dates
• Deductions spread evenly across paychecks
• If payday falls on a weekend or holiday, pay is issued the prior business day 

How Pay Timing Works by Employee Group 

To ensure clarity during the transition, here’s how pay timing will work for different employee groups:

• Food & Nutrition Services (FNS):
  FNS employees are still paid every two weeks, now receiving paychecks on the 1st and 16th (instead of 1st and 15th). FNS employees are paid entirely two weeks in arrears for both regular hours and overtime.
• Temporary/Substitute Employees:
  Temps and subs will now follow the same pay structure as FNS, meaning pay is issued two weeks in arrears for both regular hours and overtime.
• All Other Employees:
  The May 16 paycheck will include:
  • Regular hours worked from May 1–16, and
  • Overtime worked during the previous pay period

When Does This Start?

• First semi-monthly payday: May 16, 2026
• Since May 16 falls on a Saturday, pay will be issued on Friday, May 15

We worked to make this transition as seamless as possible and want to assure you that you will never be without pay. Below is what you will be receiving to assist you in planning your finances: 

 April

• April 1: Full paycheck (as usual) + Non-recurring pay issued (one month earlier than scheduled) 

May

• May 1: Full paycheck (as usual)
• May 15: First semi-monthly paycheck (1 & 16 moving forward) 

June and beyond

• June 1 and June 16: Semi-monthly pay continues 

What You Need to Know

• Timesheets & expenses: Submit by updated deadlines (Talent Management will share details soon!)
• Pay stubs: Available starting May 15, 2026, in BusinessPlus Employee Online (you’ll receive a link in a future communication). 
• Deductions:
  • Benefits and fixed deductions are split evenly
  • Percentage retirement deductions require no action
  • Additional Tax Withholdings will require a new W-4.  Employees who have this option currently selected will be contacted by the Payroll Department.

IMPORTANT! Action Required: Save Your Payroll Records 

PeopleSoft access ends June 15, 2026. All employees should download and save their own documents:

• W-2s
• Pay stubs
• Year-end payroll summaries
• Any other payroll records you wish to keep

Once access is removed, these historical documents will no longer be available, and you will use the BusinessPlus Employee Online system moving forward.
