Overview

• The district spent about $20 million to implement the Frontline payroll system on July 1, replacing the costly EMPower platform that triggered a 2022 emergency.
• United Educators of San Francisco reports roughly 100–150 employees have suffered missing wages, incorrect deductions and miscalculated hours under the new system.
• The teachers’ union served a cease-and-desist letter and filed an unfair-practice complaint with the California Public Employment Relations Board.
• SFUSD says it has resolved over 650 of 750 open tickets, launched a dedicated call center and achieved a 97% paycheck accuracy rate.
• Educators rallied outside district headquarters this week and plan further protests before the first day of school to demand a fully reliable payroll system.
