by Rolando Sardiñas on February 16, 2018

Attention: All Stewards

2018 the year of knowledge, begins with our next stewards meeting scheduled for February 20, 2018 start time 4:30pm . Please mark your calendar.

This will be the first of three knowledge based presentations, Workers Compensation, FRS Retirement (Traditional & Investment) and Stewards Legal right’s.

We will have a Workers Compensation Presentation, which will detail the facts about the employees right’s, state status and statistics governing the program. Also proper procedures and paperwork needed to adequately acquire medical assistance.

All stewards need to acquire knowledge on the subject in order to provide our membership with correct and concise information regarding their rights and responsibilities in getting the proper medical attention when injured at work.

The meeting is for DCSMEC stewards only, after the presentation we will have a question and answer session to address any concerns the members have.

Our meetings are normally held at the Miami Free Zone 2315 NW 107 AVE. Doral, Fl. We look forward to seeing all our stewards and Union officers on Tuesday February 20, 2018.

2018 Federal Withholding Tax Information

by Rolando Sardiñas on February 2, 2018

Attention DCSMEC members, you may have experienced what looks like an over payment or a new tax savings on your pay stub, here is the explanation from M-DCPS payroll management.

The 2018 federal withholding tax tables were implemented with the paycheck of February 2, 2018. As a result, the “net” amount of your February 2, 2018 pay check may be different from previous paychecks.

Additionally, some employees experience a “refund” in the Federal taxes for the paycheck of January 19, 2018. This refund is “embedded” as part of the gross amount, and it was not part of the calculation to determine taxable income.

The pay check of February 16, 2018, will be lower, because it will NOT include this one time refund.
