KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City, Missouri School District employees will be asked to show identification when they pick up their pay checks in person Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th.
The special in-person distribution was arranged by the district earlier this month after it was discovered that at least two former employees mistakenly received paychecks.
A district spokesperson says the processing error was caught quickly but officials don't want the mistake to happen again.
The goal of the special distribution is to verify the current payroll list and make sure all of the personal information on it is up-to-date.
Employees picked up their checks at schools and the Board of Education office downtown on Monday from 8 a.m. to noon. On Tuesday, employees will need to go to Manual Career Technical Center.
Another group of employees (those paid on a bi-weekly basis) went through the same process earlier in the month.
Employees say they support the process and are encouraged that there is a new safeguard in place to prevent the same sort of error from happening again.
"As far as identifying those employees, it did raise the level of confidence, we have a new superintendent, a new leadership team, this is one way we are raising accountability. We thought we had good data... we found (the errors) and cleaned it up," said Andre Riley, Spokesperson for the Kansas City, Missouri School District.
