Exhibit_A,_Attachment_A.2_-_2026_Payroll_Schedule.pdf

This is a 2026 Payroll Schedule document prepared by the County of Volusia, Florida in support of its Request for Proposals for benefit administrative services. The schedule establishes 26 biweekly payroll periods for 2026, with check dates ranging from January 16, 2026 through December 31, 2026, each corresponding to specific pay period coverage dates and cutoff dates. The document extends into 2027 with two additional payroll periods scheduled for January 15, 2027 and January 29, 2027, providing administrative guidance for the incoming benefit administrator regarding the County's payroll processing cycle and timeline for the contract term commencing January 1, 2027.

The payroll schedule serves as a supporting exhibit to the RFP and establishes the regular pay frequency and timing for compensation processing that the selected benefit administrator must coordinate with when administering employee benefits, FSA deductions, COBRA premium collections, and retiree billing. This biweekly payroll structure with consistent mid-month and end-of-month check dates is essential for the contractor's integration with the County's existing payroll system and for accurate timing of benefit deductions and premium remittances throughout the five-year contract period.
