DeKalb County School District Workers Legal Fund

To DeK alb Co un ty B o ard o f Ed uc at io n an d Su per in ten den t M ic hael Th urm o ndThe DeKalb County School District (DCSD)Workers Legal Fund members received new forms onFriday, November 8, 2013 within the Transportation Department which caused great concern.According to the School Bus Operations Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)on page 1-1 , timesheets and all supporting documentation (requisitions, statement of leave, etc.) must besubmitted to a driver's Supervisor before 12 noon on Monday. However, several fellow bus

The Employment Verification Audit Certification sheet had a second section thatrequired drivers verify, u nd er p en al t y o f p er ju ry o f th e law s o f th e State o f G eo rg iathat the employees have actually worked for the hours that they have been paid.

The DeKalb School Bus Driver & Aide Timesheet has a section in the shade box thatstated the drivers understand that the above timesheet will be used for payrollpurposes and certifies that they have worked all of the hours reported on thetimesheet .

The calendars given to the bus drivers states that the drivers' timesheets are dueeach Monday except on holiday.

These new forms cause a large amount of confusion among the employees. We request anopportunity to speak with a supervisor. By signing three of these documents, the bus driversare committing perjury because three of the documents contradict each other. We also havethe following concerns:

A. The documents change the policy within our school bus operations; however, there areno signatures or letterhead on the documents disseminated by fellow co-workers.There were no meetings given to the employees to explain these new policy changes bya supervisor and department director. The employees received less than 24 hour noticeof these policy changes and had no supervisor available to answer questions.

B. The drivers request more information and documentation on the prorated pay and theamount each driver has in his/her account. Until documentation is presented to eachdriver detailing the amount of money withheld from each person's pay check and thetotal amount owed each employee, the bus drivers refuse to sign that they have beenpaid the full amount they are due.
