A note from Payroll to All 9 month Support Staff employees:
There is a policy change at the YMCA concerning memberships. Anyone who has not paid their membership dues for more thatn 60 days must pay the $50 start-up fee to be reinstated as members. This policy change applies to school employees as well. Please consider this notice that next year you will have to pay the $50 start-up fee or pay for the summer months in order for your YMCA membership to continue in September, 2016.
Please contact Ondrea in Payroll x2410 if you would like to cancel your current YMCA membership or if you are interested in joining the YMCA. Mexico Schools pays $20 per month per employee toward YMCA membership. The employee is responsible to pay the $50 start-up fee directly to the YMCA.
