  • New Phone Options - Additional Ways To Get In Touch- In addition to calling the main line here in Human Resources, another option to directly reach your desired team is to call their group extensions. We have included a picture in the newsletter for your printing convenience.
  • Special Calendars Are Coming - It is that time of year when you review your staff members to determine who needs to be on special calendar for the 2024-25 school year. Special Calendars are an essential piece of the Human Resources processes that assist in ensuring appropriate contract pay, accurate time entry, and emergency employee tracking. Examples for employee who should be on a special calendar.
  • Tutorials Now Available For The New Hire / Change Forms For 2024-2025 - Brittany and Jane will be reviewing the updated hire/change forms, updated pipeline stages, and the benefits of onboarding those new hires as early as possible in the Administrative Assistant Meetings in March and April. To supplement this in-person review we have posted tutorials on the HR Connections website for your convenient perusal. As a reminder the HR Connections website is at employment.jordandistrict.org/hrconnections/.
  • March Substitute Incentive - Substitutes who qualify as outlined with NO CANCELLATIONS during March 2024 will be eligible for a bonus to be paid on the April 10th paycheck. **As a reminder, benefit-eligible substitute teachers working full-time at the various school locations throughout the District DO NOT QUALIFY for the monthly substitute teacher bonus incentives.
  • Changes Made AFTER Payroll Deadline - In order to address follow-up questions from Administrative Assistants, we are addressing changes made after the Payroll deadline. When making changes after a Payroll deadline, the information for substitute Payroll has already been extracted from Frontline. This means there is no notification to Payroll or HR for dates newly entered or when in and out times have been adjusted. Additionally, we enter a Frontline lock date. The only way a notification occurs is by completing the Google Form found at the Absence Management Changes AFTER Payroll Deadline page (We recommend you bookmark this link.)
  • Special Ed/Ed Support Licensing and Hiring - This is a repeat message that we will include through the Summer. If you have questions regarding specific hires, please contact the Recruiting, Hiring, and Licensing Team. Find out more about hiring Special Education or Licensed Education Support in the newsletter.
  • New Hire / Change Reminders - As the year draws to a close, please remember to have as many of yo r New Hire/Ch i:ige Forms􀀁 completed for those staff that will be joining your organization. This will assist in getting staff members in for on boarding as soon as possible. Find out more about new hire / change reminders in the newsletter.
  • Volunteer Fingerprinting Reminder - Volunteer fingerprinting is still by appointment only. Volunteers must make an appointment and have the completed and administrator signed volunteer form with them at their appoint.
    Reminder: The school keeps Code of Conduct Signature Form.
