San Francisco Unified School District has initiated a new payroll system called Frontline, following a previous crisis with EMPowerSF. Despite intentions for improvement, the first payroll run revealed numerous errors, involving hundreds of paraeducators reporting discrepancies in vacation hours and some summer employees not receiving payments. Union representatives express concern over a repeat of past payroll issues, citing the severe emotional impact on educators. With many new staff members joining, the potential for worsening financial instability is significant, raising fears about the district’s preparedness for the upcoming academic year.
Lara expressed concern that the new payroll system, Frontline, is already causing significant issues for educators, including erroneous pay and missing checks, reminiscent of past payroll crises.
Many paraeducators reported discrepancies in vacation hours and pay amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000 during the first paycheck run with the new system, causing distress among staff.
Community school coordinator Leslie Hu shared her anxiety over being unpaid for work this summer, missing $6,000, highlighting the struggle of budgeting without reliable pay.
Union representatives warned that the payroll crisis could deepen with the influx of new teachers, stating that past disruptions show the district hasn't learned from previous errors.
