    Resignation/Retirement Notification

    - Submit your separation letter indicating your final day of work to your Administrator and your HR Technician at least 3 weeks before your anticipated separation date.  The Human Resources Support Team listing can be found here.

    Continuing as a Licensed Guest Teacher (Substitute)?

    - Notify your HR Technician of your intention to continue as a Guest Teacher (Substitute) prior to your resignation date. 

    - Complete the Substitute Information form and return it to Substitute Services at SubOffice@washoeschools.net. 

    Questions on becoming a Guest Teacher (Substitute)?

    - Contact Substitute Services at 775-348-0233 or 775-348-0321 or Substitute Services Webpage

    PERS Retirement Notification (if applicable)

    - Contact NVPERS at 775-687-4200. 

    Q: How will my PERS benefit be affected when I draw Social Security?

    A: Your PERS benefit is not affected by Social Security. However, your Social Security benefit may be affected because you receive a PERS pension. The Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) are the two Federal Government regulations that may reduce your Social Security benefit. We suggest you contact the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 or visit their website at http://www.ssa.gov to find out more information.

    Sick and Vacation Payouts (if applicable)

    Vacation Payout 

    - The vacation payout is customarily paid as a supplemental (paper) check after your final paycheck

    - 403b or 457b Deferred Compensation vacation payout (OPTIONAL)

    -If you have an established deferred compensation account, you can choose to have up to 98% of your vacation monies deposited into this account. To elect this option, please click on this  TSA Consulting Group link to obtain the "Salary Reduction Agreement" (SRA) form for your account type (403b or 457b). On the "Salary Reduction Agreement" (SRA) form, complete the section labeled "Terminal Pay", read and sign.  This completed form must be received by the WCSD Payroll Department at EOPY@WASHOESCHOOLS.NET at least 3 business days prior to your payout date. You will not be able to use Employee Online for this vacation payout option and will be responsible for knowing and complying with your maximum allowable contributions for any calendar year. For questions, please contact the Payroll Department at  (775) 348-0341.

    Sick Payout

    - A sick leave payout (must be employed for 10 continuous years to be eligible for a sick leave percentage payout) will be dispersed in the month of July as a supplemental (paper) check. 

    Payroll (if applicable)

    - If you have “automatic” payroll deductions set up, then you will need to make arrangements to have those switched to other accounts. These deductions will not continue once your final paycheck is issued if alternative arrangements are not made. 

    Insurance Benefits (if applicable)

    - Resignation: Contact the Benefits Department at 775-348-0321 for any insurance benefit questions.

    - Retirement:  Contact the Benefits Department  at 775-348-0321 to request a Retiree Insurance Premium Deduction Form at least 2 weeks prior to receiving your final paycheck.

    If you wish to continue your health insurance into retirement, you will be responsible for paying your monthly premiums, which will be deducted from your monthly PERS check. You must be receiving a PERS check to be considered a "retiree" and continue with District benefits. You have 60 days from the date of your retirement to elect benefits, otherwise you cannot continue with District's insurance and will not be eligible for COBRA. You can find more information in the Plan Document on the Benefits website. If desired, your life and vision coverage can be continued separate from your health and dental, but there is no option to continue health coverage without dental or dental without health coverage.
