HR Updates and News
COVID Reporting: If you test positive for COVID-19, please notify your supervisor and remember to complete the online reporting form found at COVID Reporting Form Link. 
 
Dates for Retirement: As you are aware, SISD pays you for a portion of unused local leave at retirement. This is in accordance to Board Policy DEC(Local). If a non-contracted employee intends to retire at the end of the semester and desires payment for local sick leave, then he or she must submit a letter of resignation to Human Resources no later than two weeks prior to the last day of the semester. If a retiring SISD employee does not meet this requirement, he or she will not be paid for any local sick leave upon retirement as determined by SISD Board Policy. If you have any questions about this, email Jill O'Neal at joneal@shermanisd.net.
