Denver Public Schools officials say district employees didn’t receive their expected paychecks Thursday morning, but direct deposits are expected in staffers’ bank accounts by the end of the day.
Spokesman Scott Pribble said the district did not immediately know how many workers were affected, but some payments were made to employees while others weren’t Thursday morning.
DPS’s finance department “followed their standard process and shared required payment information with the bank” on time, and the district also confirmed that JPMorgan has processed the bank file for workers’ pay, according to two emails district leaders sent to employees Thursday morning.
The bank has all day to process the direct deposits, which are normally completed early in the morning, Pribble said.
It’s unclear why the process was delayed, he said.
“All employees will receive their direct deposit in their bank accounts by the end of the business day today,” the district said in an email to employees.
