Duval County Schools Saves $80,000 a Year with Online Pay Stubs

Tampa, FL (April 10, 2007) – National Payment Corporation is going back to school. As part of their “Keep More Money in Your Schools” program, they’re going to provide Duval County School District employees with free payday text alerts and paperless pay stubs at a reduced rate.

Schools and corporations around the country have switched to electronic pay stubs for their cost-effectiveness and convenience. EZStub users can view their pay stub information online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but that’s not all, according to Mark Williams, National Payment’s Marketing Director. “Now employees can also receive their pay stub information online, via email, or as a text message on their cell phone or PDA,” he remarked.

Duval County Public Schools (DCPS) is taking steps to save millions of dollars. These opportunities were presented as recommendations from Project INVEST, a task force commissioned by Superintendent Joseph Wise and the Alliance for World Class Education. One of their recommendations was for DCPS to implement electronic pay stubs. “The goal of Project INVEST is to create a better and more efficient system that will benefit our students, staff and our taxpayers,” said Superintendent Joseph Wise.

Duval County Public Schools chose National Payment Corporation because EZStub is compatible with the DCPS’s current processes and can be deployed rapidly at a relatively low cost. Implementation of EZStub will reduce the DCPS’s current cost by an estimated $80,000 each year and these savings will be directed to the classrooms.

Duval County Public Schools is the 19th largest school district within the country that employs approximately 14,500 individuals and serves approximately 123,500 students.

National Payment Corporation Takes Wireless Payroll to Southeastern Educators

Tampa, FL (April 9, 2007) – National Payment Corporation announced today that it is sending delegates to the Southeastern Association of School Business Officials and South Carolina Spring Conference to demonstrate the latest innovations in the wireless payroll industry. National Payment’s Web Direct Deposit service, EZStub electronic pay stubs, and employee paycard programs have helped schools across the country save money, time, and critical human resources. By using National Payment’s “Keep More Money in Your Schools” program, many Southeastern schools have already reaped the rewards of a “less-paper” approach to their payroll process.

“We investigated and found EZStub to be a terrific idea,” said Sam Hurst, Executive Director of Business Services for the Citrus County School Board in Florida. “It piqued our interest because of the cost, and the fact that our staff spends three days stuffing envelopes for each payroll.”

Once schools eliminate the expense of creating, printing, and distributing paper checks and pay stubs, they can often save thousands of dollars each year. “ By drastically reducing their payroll administration costs, school officials can redirect valuable resources to other areas,” said Jim Hagen, National Payment’s VP of Sales and Marketing.

The Southeastern Association of School Business Officials (SASBO) is a regional non-profit organization made up of public and nonprofit school personnel from the twelve southeastern states – Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. SASBO’s goal is to improve education by supporting the networking and professional development of its school administrators.
Their spring conference will be held from April 23rd through the 26th in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

National Payment Initiative Will Keep More Money in Your Schools

Tampa, FL (September 21, 2006) – National Payment Corporation thinks your public school system should spend more of its budget on classroom education and less on payroll administration. The company has cut its fees for public schools on EZStub, an electronic pay statement that replaces old-fashioned paper pay stubs and reduces payroll budgets. EZStub also offers features tailored to schools.

“I’m a mom, and I see everything getting stripped out of my daughter’s classroom due to budget constraints,” said Stacy Anthony of National Payment, explaining why she’s enthusiastic about the company’s new initiative aimed at public schools.

For public schools only, National Payment is waiving its EZStub set-up fee, offering the first three months of service at no charge, and making Anthony’s consulting services available at no additional charge to ensure that the start-up goes smoothly. For the period following start-up, monthly fixed fees have been reduced by more than 50%. The result? School systems experience an almost immediate return on investment: about $25,000-$30,000 annually for large systems and $10,000 for small.

National Payment knows schools well, so it has tweaked its product to serve the schools’ diverse employee base. For example, schools can’t expect to go 100% paperless immediately. Some employees may lack Internet access at home. At no additional cost, the school can use EZStub to separate out those employees so they can easily print their stubs on demand via the EZStub system.

EZStub’s messaging capability can reduce phone calls to schools’ payroll departments. “Teachers have unusual deductions that appear once in a blue moon,” said Anthony. The payroll department can include a message reminding them that “Your paycheck includes an $8 deduction for your annual legal contribution.” Also, the system can make an easily understood explanation – or even the phone number of the benefits provider – pop up when the employee moves the cursor over a deduction code. It’s easy for payroll to sort messages by department, pay class or school.

More than half of Florida’s public school systems are implementing or considering EZStub. “Cost savings alone wasn’t the driving force here,” said Sam Hurst, Executive Director of Business Services, Citrus County School Board, in Inverness, FL. “Convenience for our employees and picking up some extra time for my staff to do more important things made the decision an easy one.”

School districts and financial officers who want to learn more can arrange for Anthony to give a free, one-hour class on paperless payroll.

High Tech Pay Stubs Save Money for Employers, Make Life Easy for Employees

Tampa, FL (April 20, 2006) – Payday has entered the world of electronic information with a program created by National Payment Corporation called EZStub.

Paper pay stubs continue to exist, even though most employers now use direct deposit to pay employees. Today’s technology enables employers to eliminate paper stubs and move towards less paper in the work place.

National Payment Corporation has announced the development of the latest version of EZStub, an electronic pay statement that replaces old fashioned paper pay stubs. Now employees can get their pay stub by E-mail, to their PDA, or sent to a cell phone.

“EZStub saves time and money for payroll administrators, human resource managers, finance officers, budget analysts, accountants, and CFOs. Employees love it because now they have instant access to their payroll records, without the need to get that information from someone else in the company. Employees also love to receive payroll information in real time, rather than waiting for delivery of a hard copy pay stub,” explained Stacy Anthony of National Payment Corporation.

EZStub is currently used by companies as an outsourced solution to reduce printing, sorting, and delivery costs in their payroll department. Some companies enjoy the ability to use EZStub as an employee self-serve benefit that allows their employees to access their pay information from any location. Employers are able to reduce administration and production costs associated with payroll distribution of pay stubs.

“If employees need current or past pay information, they can get that from a secure web site with no need to take up the time of a payroll department employee. The value of a reduced work load and higher productivity to a company can be significant during the course of a year,” said Anthony.

EZStub is the perfect paperless payroll solution. Many payroll processors and businesses use computers to process their payroll, and even benefit from direct deposit – but still continue to print and distribute pay stubs by hand or mail. EZStub is the final piece of the puzzle that completes the money saving process of a paperless payroll.

The company provides additional information at ezstub.com.

EZStub Electronic Pay Stubs Selected by Westinghouse to Replace Traditional Printed Pay Stubs

Tampa, FL (April 20, 2006) – Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC needed a robust, online solution to reduce paper pay stub delivery and printing costs, while also meeting high security needs that also had to be user friendly – EZStub became the solution.

Like most companies, Westinghouse has been printing all pay stubs in house and mailing them to employees. Implementation of a paperless pay stub solution would significantly reduce printing and delivery costs.

Many payroll processors and businesses use computers to process their payroll, and even benefit from direct deposit – but still continue to print and distribute pay stubs by hand or mail. EZStub, from National Payment Corporation, is the final piece of the puzzle that completes the money saving process of a paperless payroll.

“National Payment Corporation was willing to work with us on all the enhancements we needed to meet our overall objectives for implementing a paperless pay stub solution,” explained Karen Kranz, manager of payroll and expense reporting for Westinghouse.

The number one priority for Westinghouse was for their employees to use a highly secure solution that allowed them to feel comfortable retrieving their information from the Internet as well as being very easy to use, according to Kranz.

Westinghouse rolled out EZStub in January 2006 to all monthly paid employees on direct deposit. Every cycle of the rollout process was carefully monitored, discussed, and evaluated. The EZStub system met with a favorable response from the Westinghouse employees using the solution.

“The IT team at National Payment was very patient and resourceful in helping us implement all of the suggestions that our employees had made. Communication was great and the turnaround time even better,” said Kranz.

By implementing National Payment’s EZStub electronic pay stub solutions, Westinghouse projects a savings of $40,000 in operating costs for 2006, according to Kranz.

“EZStub saves time and money for payroll administrators, human resource managers, finance officers, budget analysts, accountants, and CFOs. Employees love it because now they have instant access to their payroll records, without the need to get that information from someone else in the company. Employees also love to receive payroll information in real time, rather than waiting for delivery of a hard copy pay stub,”

“If employees need current or past pay information, they can get that from a secure web site with no need to take up the time of a payroll department employee. The value of a reduced work load and higher productivity to a company can be significant during the course of a year,” explained Stacy Anthony of National Payment Corporation.

The company maintains a web site at nationalpayment.com, and provides more information about the solution developed for Westinghouse at ezstub.com.
