Who can access my District Employee Personnel File?
Florida Statute 119.071(a) states that public records are open for inspection and copying by “any person.” Your District Employee Personnel File is considered a public record.

What information is exempt from public disclosure during a file inspection or request?
Exceptions include information such as social security numbers, medical records and payroll deductions unless requested by a court order or released via employee authorization.

Is there a charge for obtaining copies of my District Employee Personnel File?
Yes, per School Board Policy 1343, a fee of .15 for each page duplicated will be charged. If it takes in excess of 15 minutes to prepare a public records request, there may be a labor charge assessed in addition to the actual cost of the duplication.

What department distributes Teacher Contracts?
Teacher Contracts are distributed electronically once per year. For additional information, contact the Certification and Incentives Department.

What department should I contact for W2 and W4 information?
Contact the Payroll Department for W2 and W4 information.

Why doesn’t my W2 Form show my annual contract amount?
The W2 Form reflects earnings paid during the calendar year (January - December). Employee contracts are based on the fiscal year (July - June). In addition, you may have earnings not included in your annual contract, such as supplements and additional positions.

Why doesn’t the Federal withholding tax on my W2 Form agree with the taxes withheld as shown on my paycheck?
Federal withholding tax does not include FICA Social Security and Medicare taxes. On the employee paycheck, Federal taxes are listed under “Tax Deduction Summary.”

I am no longer an employee and have moved. If I no longer have access to ESS, how do I obtain a copy of my W-2?
Address change requests will continue to be processed by the HR Support Services (Personnel Records) Department via fax request to (754) 321-0900. Please include your personnel number, name, new address, and signature. If you do not know your personnel number, please list the last four digits of your social security number.
