Usually one teaching and one not teaching.

Nobody seemed to testify about not getting payed but Rivera-Oven did ask Taylor about a certain position being changed from 10 to 12 months, Taylor said those people are being payed. But apparently many teachers and support staff are not being payed. Does anyone have any information about this? The unions don’t have any press releases about this issue. I was only able to find an article on ModeratelyMOCO: https://moderatelymoco.com/summer-pay-chaos-mcps-employees-still-await-compensation-as-unions-take-action/

Paid.

I don’t know what “payed” is.

And world's tiniest violin plaid a lamentation for the pathetic prescriptivist.

At this point, someone needs to oversee MCPS, because obviously they can’t be trusted with money. They’re out here buying bullshit electric buses while teachers still aren’t getting paid.

There have always been issues with ESY staff getting a timely check. They used to make us wait several weeks.

Hub+ has been a disaster. Leave gone missing. We have staff missing anywhere from 3 hours to weeks worth. I didn't get paid the previous pay period. Zero. Could not reach any one from ERSC. Luckily my supervisor has connections and I got paid a few days later. This pay period I am missing a few hundred and they didn't take out any medical deductions, my Fidelity, pension. Still can't reach anyone from ERSC. Filled out a ticket and tried calling.

It's more widespread. Infants and Toddlers staff work summers and they are having issues with paychecks. I know some school psychs who are 12 month and are having issues.

Anonymous wrote:Yes, it’s related to summer work for employees who aren’t usually working in the summer. Not all summer employees are impacted, but those who are have been given the run around.

Keep in mind that summer school is often harder than teaching Sept-June. Many summer school teachers and paras could take jobs in retail or food service instead. Mortgage companies, PEPCO, and whoever holds your car loan don’t care that MCPS can’t get Hub+ to operate.

That said, this is a very bad sign. I’ve had friends in DCPS go unpaid before. A functional system makes sure employees get compensated in a timely manner.

MCEA has filed a grievance over these pay issues. Glad MCEA finally pulled its head out of Taylor's ass to speak the truth: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2025/07/28/mcea-files-grievance-against-mcps-over-payment-problems/

The description of the scope and scale of the problems with Hub+ as described by MCEA vs MCPS is interesting. I'm inclined to believe MCEA's version of events here.

Hearing that paras (different union) are having issues as well. What is the most frustrating is that you can't reach anyone to try and resolve your issue.

The unions are really just there to take your money not give you money. If you got in to teaching for money then you got bamboozled bc teaching isn't about money

I just resigned from MCPS, but if I still was, I would not work until I got paid.

BethesdaToday is covering the story now: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/07/29/mcea-grievance-mcps-payment-issues/

The Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA), the union representing Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) teachers, announced Monday it has filed a grievance against the district after summer employees experienced pay disruptions, according to the union and MCPS.

Michael Schoettle, managing director of public affairs for MCEA, told Bethesda Today on Monday that 85 employees haven’t been paid and hundreds more are experiencing pay and other “leave-related discrepancies.”

In a Monday statement to Bethesda Today, MCPS spokesperson Liliana López said “unfortunately, issues with our new payroll and [human resources] system caused pay disruptions for some team members on summer assignments this past pay period.”

López said “a small number of summer employees” who started work after July 11 or whose timecards entered the system after July 11, didn’t receive their payment as scheduled on Friday. López told Bethesda Today that those employees will now be paid Wednesday, while all other employees received their pay as scheduled on Friday.

The fact that MCPS thinks 85 employees is a "small number" is pretty ridiculous. Of course, I recognize compared to the full workforce, it's small number, but still. Lilliana's statement minimizes the scope of the problem in a way that doesn't match with the reality of the situation.

Is this likely to affect pay for the first pay period for all staff & returning teachers?

I guess it better this happened during summer to work any kinks rather than during the school year.

Not likely. They seem to have issues with summer pay for some reason. This isn’t the first year it’s happened. Idiots in charge.

Reminder: There's a new head of HR that started July 1:

She's in charge of "HR Information Systems," which I presume include Hub+. I'm guessing the former MCPS HR Chief, April Key, oversaw much of the implementation though since Kaylan just started July 1.

On second thought, I think Hub+ is seen as a financial software. Which means it's likely under CFO Ivon Alfonso-Windsor.
