Certified Staff Pre-Hire Documentation

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

There are several required new employee forms that we will ask you to complete in advance of your scheduled fingerprint appointment here at the Administration Office. We ask you to do this ahead of time in the interest of saving time at the meeting. Most of these forms can be completed "on-screen" and then printed out. You will be given brief instructions for each of the forms. If you have any questions as you are completing forms, please contact us by calling; 630-301-5030.

*Please note: Substitute applicants must complete fingerprinting and background checks through the Kane County ROE located in Geneva. You may visit http://www.kaneroe.org/fingerprinting/ to make an appointment at your earliest convenience.

Please complete, print, and bring with you the following forms:

If you work for an employer who does not withhold Social Security taxes from your salary, such as a government agency like a school district or an employer in another country, the pension you get based on that work may reduce your Social Security benefits. The Windfall Elimination Provision affects how the amount of your retirement or disability benefit is calculated if you receive a pension from work where Social Security taxes were not taken out of your pay. A modified formula is used to calculate your benefit amount, resulting in a lower Social Security benefit than you otherwise would receive. If you would like additional information regarding this provision, please refer to the following site.
