What is Deferred Net Pay (DNP)?

Regular district employees who receive less than 12 paychecks per year are eligible to sign up for DNP. DNP allows employees to set aside a percentage of their net pay to receive a check when they otherwise would not receive regular pay. When an employee signs up for DNP, a deduction is automatically taken from the employee’s paycheck. The amount deducted is determined by the take home pay amounts and the number of DNP checks needed to enable the employee to be paid over 12 months.

9 month employees receive DNP checks on June, July, and August
10 month employees receive DNP checks on July and August
11 month employees receive a DNP check on July

***Classified employees receive only one DNP check.
