Team members may verify their years of service via Oracle Employee Self-Service using the steps below. 

1. Log into Oracle Employee Self-Service using your EAD. If asked, verify your identity using the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) method tied to your account.

2. Use the Navigator function on the left to select Human Resources/Payroll Employee Self-Service > Employee Self-Service > Human Capital Management Information > DISD Print Notification of Assignment and Salary.

3. Select Click for Results.

4. Verify the Years in District row on your Notice of Assignment and Salary.

5. Add one year of service to your "Years in District" in order to account for the current year.

6. Once you have added a year, you should have your total years in Dallas ISD for the Service Award Program.

*This program only counts your years employed in Dallas ISD and does not count service in other districts.  This program does not count time worked in hourly, temporary, contractor, or substitute positions.

Team members will receive a service pin upon completion of each five years of service with Dallas ISD. At 35 years, team members will receive a pin and a Lifetime Achievement Award at each five-year milestone.

All active team members with five or more cumulative years of service with Dallas ISD, determined by the Years in DISD field in Oracle.

Ineligible service includes:

• Volunteer work
• Temporary/hourly workers
• Contractors
• Substitutes
• Years of service in education outside of Dallas ISD, including Dallas County Schools

Dallas ISD will use the employee's total ‘Years in DISD’ as calculated by Oracle and credit the current year (2022-2023). 

Employees must be listed as “Active” in Oracle when the reports are retrieved to receive a pin.

Employees will have the opportunity to verify their years of service online. Employees should contact the Onboarding & Retention team using the proposed correction form no later than March 31 if they believe there is an error with their service record.

The employees’ years of service in Dallas ISD calculated for the Service Award Program are not compared to any salary increment purposes within TEA or with years of employment for (TRS) retirement purposes.  This Service Award Program only recognizes years of service to Dallas ISD and does not reflect employment outside the District.

*The Service Award Program does not include time worked as a temporary worker, contractor, or substitute. Part-time team members' hours may not be included if they worked under twenty (20) hours each week. Former Dallas County Schools employees’ years of service will not be included in this program.

Answer these questions:

Yes / No: I looked up my Years in District using the instructions provided in the "How do I verify my Years of Service to Dallas ISD?"

Yes / No: I am only counting active years of service completed with Dallas ISD.

Yes / No: I am not counting volunteer work, temporary/hourly work, contract work, or substitute work.

If Yes to all, complete the Service Award Proposed Correction Form

As a reminder, this program only counts your years employed in Dallas ISD and does not count service in other districts. 

Please note, this information will not be forwarded to the Records department and is not an official system for updating your records. This request will just be used to determine eligibility for service pins. If you have questions about your official service records, please email employeerecords@dallasisd.org.

Pins are scheduled to be delivered to campuses through interoffice mail, addressed to the office manager in April.

Pins will be delivered to central staff executive administrative assistants for each chief in April.

Lifetime Achievement Awards will be distributed at the Lifetime Achievement Awards Ceremony in May, with details to follow in March.

Pins should be distributed by campus/department leaders at a time where the team is gathered to celebrate:

• Campus/Department Meeting
• Professional Learning Community
• End-of-Year Celebration
• Sunshine Committee Event
• Award Ceremony

Team members with five or more years of service to Dallas ISD will receive a pin corresponding to the most recent five-year milestone achievement, e.g., a team member with 14 years of service will receive a 10-year pin.

Team members with 35 or more years of service to Dallas ISD will receive a pin for their most recent five-year milestone and a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Human Capital Management has included instructions to campus administration and administrative support teams regarding how and when to distribute pins. 

A WAIP will be issued reiterating the recommendations for celebrating the milestones of your staff. 

No, the District is only providing one pin for each team member's most recent milestone at this time.

Lifetime Achievement Awards are printed using team members' legal names, as noted in Oracle. The district is not accepting requests for changes at this time.
