Bismarck Schools Adopt Greener Payroll Practices to Save Money, Time, and Trees

Tampa, FL (March 12, 2008) – As part of a comprehensive effort to streamline its payroll procedures and empower its workforce, Bismarck Public Schools are going green. They’ve adopted National Payment’s EZStub online pay stub service as part of a “less-paper” initiative that saves money, time, and valuable human and natural resources.

National Payment hosts employee payroll data on a secure website that employees can access from any computer with an Internet connection, so employees can now view their stubs from virtually anywhere — whether they’re at home, at work, traveling on business, or even on vacation. And even more importantly, with access to up to four years of payroll records, employees can retrieve their information without having to contact anyone in the payroll department — the ultimate benefit in terms of convenience and flexibility for employees.

Bismarck public school employees were already using direct deposit to receive their paychecks, so online pay stubs were the logical next step in the process. “We really feel that our payroll office is setting an example by taking advantage of the benefits that technology offers to be able to process and pay staff in a very efficient and state-of-the-art manner. We brag about how many ‘trees we’ve saved’ since we’ve implemented direct deposit and EZStub. I think our staff really like being able to look up their pay information whenever they want without having to bother someone in payroll, because they know how busy they already are,” explains Ed Gerhardt, Business Manager for Bismarck Public Schools.

Prior to the schools’ implementation of EZStub, an entire day had to be devoted to stuffing envelopes and distributing paper pay stubs to staff members during each pay period. In addition to the paper being used to print the stubs, employees used box after box of envelopes to complete the task. Gerhardt knew there had to be a better way, and after receiving information about EZStub at a conference for the Association of School Business Officials, he knew he’d found the solution. “I realized that it was something that could save us considerable time and expense on our payroll processing,” Gerhardt explained.

National Payment offers an exclusive line of paperless payroll services, including direct deposit, online pay stubs, employee paycards, and electronic statement generation and billing services.

Highlands County Schools Go Paperless with EZStub Online Pay Stubs

Tampa, FL (May 23, 2007) – Schools in Highlands County, Florida are being schooled on the best “less-paper” payroll solutions available. Highlands County Schools Finance Coordinator Richard “Bo” Birt recently found a way to save thousands of dollars each year by offering school employees a choice: either keep receiving traditional paper pay stubs on payday or go paperless with National Payment Corporation’s EZStub online pay stub service.

Today’s school administrators have been forced to squeeze a dollar out of every dime, so the convenience and cost-effectiveness of “less-paper” payroll solutions have garnered their attention. By spending less time and money on the creation and distribution of paper pay stubs for its 1600 employees, Highlands County schools will free up resources that they can use to address critical needs in other areas. National Payment even offers special pricing for schools as part of its “Keep More Money in Your Schools” initiative.

“We think it will save several thousand dollars a year, including the time to print, insert, and distribute the pay stubs. Our employees are very happy with the EZStub service,” Birt explained.

“Employee self-serve options are just as important to employers as saving money and resources. With EZStub online pay stubs, you get both. Employers love the considerable savings, and employees enjoy having 24/7 access to their pay statements – especially when they’re purchasing a new car or a home,” stated Mark Williams, National Payment’s Marketing Director.

Alachua County Schools Expanding Employee Options with EZStub Electronic Pay Stubs

Tampa, FL (April 16, 2007) – Alachua County school employees will now have a choice – either continue receiving traditional paper pay stubs or view their pay information online by using National Payment Corporation’s EZStub electronic pay stub service.

“We want to offer employees an alternative to paper pay stubs, and we chose EZStub for its low cost,” said Scott Ward, Chief Financial Officer for Alachua County Public Schools in northern Florida.

Employers are always searching for cost-efficient ways to increase employee benefits, but public school systems also have to deal with limited resources as they combat school overcrowding and limited funding sources. Online pay stubs often solve the problem – for every employee that receives an online pay stub, the schools save money and time that was previously spent creating and distributing the paper version. National Payment’s “Keep More Money in Your Schools” program provides reduced pricing for schools as a further incentive.

EZStub users have online access to their pay stubs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they also receive an email or text message as each new pay stub becomes available. “Thirty-five percent of the 200 million cell phone users in this country are already using text messaging to communicate. Providing free payday text alerts to employees is just one more benefit that employers can offer,” according to National Payment’s Marketing Director, Mark R. Williams.

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

Tampa, FL (April 10, 2007) – National Payment Corporation (NatPay) 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, NatPay’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.
