Exhibit_A,_Attachment_A.2_-_2026_Payroll_Schedule.pdf

This is a 2026 payroll schedule attachment for a benefit administrative services contract with the County of Volusia, Florida. The schedule establishes bi-weekly payroll cycles for the 2026 calendar year, spanning 26 pay periods plus two additional periods extending into early 2027. Each pay period is identified by a payroll number and includes three key dates: the check date when payment is issued, the period start date, and the period end date. The payroll cycle operates on a consistent bi-weekly schedule, with check dates occurring approximately every two weeks throughout the year, beginning with check date January 16, 2026, and concluding with December 31, 2026, with the schedule extending into January 2027 for carryover periods.

The payroll schedule reflects the administrative infrastructure required to support the County of Volusia's benefit administrative services operations, which encompass Flexible Spending Account (FSA) administration, Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) administration, COBRA administration and compliance, and retiree billing and premium collection services. The bi-weekly payroll structure provides the timing framework necessary for processing employee compensation across these administrative functions serving County employees, retirees, and COBRA participants. The schedule demonstrates the operational cadence required to maintain continuous benefit administration services throughout the fiscal year.
