Important Summer Information from ERSC
Another successful school year is winding down. Before your summer plans get underway, please consider these important items from the Employee and Retiree Service Center (ERSC).
2024-2025 School Year Plans
MCPS expects that 10-month employees will return to their permanent position(s) for the 2024–2025 school year unless they have notified the Office of Human Resources and Development (OHRD) that they will not return or OHRD has notified them that their position(s) will not be available.
Work Schedules for the 2024–2025 School Year
If you are a 10-month employee, your summer break may end on a different date than your coworkers, based on your position. Your first work day of the 2024–2025 school year—as well as the total number of duty days for the year, any in-service days and more—is listed on the annual work schedule.

Most 10- and 11-month MCPS employees who work during the June 15–28 pay period will receive a partial paycheck on July 12, 2024. This paycheck will include pay for the number of days worked during this pay period.
Plan Ahead for September’s Accelerated Pay Date
MCPS will accelerate one pay date in September for the convenience of our 10-month employees. The accelerated pay date enables 10-month employees to receive a full paycheck more quickly.

- Sept. 6, 2024
- Sept. 13, 2024
Pay dates will resume their biweekly schedule with the following pay date of Oct. 4, 2024. Please plan accordingly and budget in preparation for this change to the normal pay schedule.
