If you have already made the decision to retire, congratulations and thank you for your many years of devoted service! Retirement can be the start of a new and exciting phase of your life!
Multiple departments are involved when an employee retires from NEISD. Employees who are planning or considering retirement from NEISD should review these resources in advance of their planned retirement date.

Get Started on Retirement

Retirement is an individual decision that only you can make. For most people, retirement is a once in a lifetime event. While steps to retirement can be uncertain, the process is relatively painless. The key is to get started early!

STEP ONE

The first step to retirement is to contact TRS to discuss retirement options and choose your retirement date. NEISD will not advise an employee on a retirement date.

STEP TWO


The second step to retirement is to make it official with NEISD. 
Login to LAWSON Employee Center and submit your Retirement/Resignation Request. The request must be approved by your supervisor before it is processed by Human Resources (HR). If you have questions on how to complete the request, contact HR at (210) 407-0188. Once HR has processed your retirement/resignation request, your retirement date and last work date is updated in their system and the information is routed to Payroll.

Payroll

Payroll offers the information and resources below as a courtesy to provide a general overview of the retirement process.
