I forgot to pick up my check from my site on payday, where is it now?
After payday, contact your school site’s office manager first in regards to your paycheck location. Any checks not claimed from the sites on payday are sent back to the District Office unless a request was made for the office manager to keep the check at the school site.

My doctor is putting me off work for an extended period. Do I notify payroll?
You need to turn in a doctor’s off-work certificate to HR. This form will need to state the duration of your disability. Prior to your return, you will also need to provide a doctor’s release to return to work to HR.
I am resigning from AUSD. Will my accumulated sick leave be paid out to me?
PERS and STRS regulations prohibit any district from paying our sick leave. However, it can be transferred to a new school district, county, or city in California. Notify your new employer that you have sick days at AUSD and they will send us a form for transfer. If you are retiring, your sick days will be forwarded to PERS or STRS and used to increase your service credit.
I recently changed my name and or moved. How do I change that information with the district?
You can update your address and personal information through the Escape Portal escape.acoe.org
