2026 Payroll Schedule

This document is a payroll schedule attachment for Contract 26-P-66TF issued by the County of Volusia, Florida in connection with its benefit administrative services procurement. The schedule establishes 26 bi-weekly payroll periods for 2026, with check dates ranging from January 16, 2026 through December 31, 2026, along with corresponding cutoff dates and period coverage dates. Each payroll period is numbered sequentially, providing the contractor with the County's established payment cycle timeline that will govern the administration of payroll-related activities and benefit deductions throughout the contract year. The schedule extends into early 2027 with two additional payroll periods scheduled for January 15, 2027 and January 29, 2027, indicating continuation of the bi-weekly payment structure into the subsequent year.

The payroll schedule serves as an operational reference document for the selected benefit administrator, ensuring alignment between the County's payroll processing dates and the contractor's responsibilities for FSA administration, COBRA processing, and retiree premium collection. By establishing fixed payroll dates, the County provides the contractor with critical timing information necessary to coordinate deductions, premium collections, and claim processing with the County's Human Resources and payroll functions. This schedule is essential for the contractor to meet service level agreements regarding debit card funding, claim reimbursement processing, and premium remittance to carriers within specified timeframes throughout the contract period.
