In addition to all school district payroll-processing for districts within San Luis Obispo County, our payroll team is responsible for the processing and distribution of supplemental and end-of-month paychecks to all San Luis Obispo County school districts and Cuesta Community College. This department also audits and submits retirement reporting for the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) and Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) for all San Luis Obispo county school districts including 3 charter schools, and Cuesta Community College (STRS only).
