Thousands of Georgia school employees will receive delayed pay due to a recent winter storm, but the superintendent promises that the pay is on its way.

The superintendent of Henry County Schools in Georgia, Dr. John Pace III, wants to assure everyone that their delayed paychecks are still on the way. Last week's winter storm caused a delay in payment for over 5,000 employees, including faculty and teachers. Dr. Pace remains apologetic for the inconvenience this has caused and wants to address the issue.

In an interview with 11Alive News on January 24th, Dr. Pace expressed his sincerest apologies to all employees and their families. He stated, "First and foremost, let me apologize to our employees for the impact this delay has had on them and their families. We never want to be in this situation." He also mentioned that the paychecks were initially expected to go out on Friday, but due to the storm, the date was pushed back to the following Wednesday, January 29th.

Despite the setback, Dr. Pace assured that the issue is a top priority and they are working diligently to resolve it as quickly as possible. When asked about their initial communication approach, he said they will evaluate and make necessary changes to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future. However, their main focus at the moment is making sure all employees receive their paychecks.

For many staff members, these paychecks are crucial for their livelihood as they are paid in monthly installments. The delay has caused frustration and concern for some employees, especially those who live paycheck-to-paycheck. One teacher, Danisha Henderson, shared her concerns about the impact of the delay, stating, "The economy isn't cheap these days...Some of us live paycheck to paycheck. We have kids, bills - most of my bills are on auto-pay...The world doesn't stop."

While the winter storm may have been the main reason for the delay, there were also speculations about a new employee portal that was launched on January 6th. However, Dr. Pace clarified that the new technology was not the cause of the delay. He explained that the delay was due to certain processes that required in-person handling.

Dr. Pace has confirmed that the paychecks will be processed and ready for distribution on Wednesday. As for the possibility of receiving the checks earlier, he could not provide a definite answer. The main focus now is to ensure that all employees receive their paychecks as soon as possible.

In conclusion, the superintendent of Henry County Schools, Dr. John Pace III, is working tirelessly to resolve the issue of delayed paychecks for over 5,000 employees. He remains apologetic for the inconvenience caused and assures that the matter is being addressed with top priority. The new date for paycheck distribution is Wednesday, and the superintendent is doing everything possible to ensure that employees receive their money on time.
