Employee COVID-19 Self-Screening
Under order of the San Joaquin County Public Health Officer and the CDPH, employees must undergo a self-screening. To comply, all SJCOE employees - whether working remotely or at an SJCOE facility - must conduct a self-screening at home using the SJCOE application screening tool each workday. The self-screening tool can be accessed at https://selfscreening.org/log-in. A link can also be found at http://www.sjcoe.org/ listed under “Quick Links” at the bottom of the page.
Employees should refer to the Self-Screening User Manual and the Self-Screening Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) as they become familiar with the new procedure. Employees must notify their immediate supervisor if they cannot access the screening tool and should report the issue to selfscreening@sjcoe.net, the dedicated email account for comments and questions regarding the screening tool, such as issues with logging in.
Should you have questions, please refer to the Self-Screening User Manual and Self-Screening Frequently Asked Questions, or speak with your immediate supervisor.

How do I Submit My Timesheet for Supplemental Payroll?
Timesheets are due no later than the 21st of every month. If the 21st falls on a Saturday or Sunday, your timesheet is due on the Friday before.
Please turn in your timesheet directly to the department you work for no later than the 21st of each month. You can find your department’s designated person by clicking on this link: Timesheet notification Aug 2021.pdf
Effective Immediately, we will no longer accept electronic copies of timesheets; this includes but is not limited to scanned or emailed copies and the drop box at the Nelson Building will be removed.
Please submit your timesheet to your department representative.
When will I receive my paycheck?
Supplemental checks will be paid on the 10th of the month provided timesheets are received on time for all substitute and temporary staff. Non-temporary staff will be paid at the end of the month as usual.
I have medical circumstances that place me at a high risk of contracting COVID-19, what should I do?
Please refer to Centers for Disease Control guidelines at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/assessing-risk-factors.html. If you believe you fall into this category, communicate any concerns with your direct supervisor.

The California Employment Development Department determines whether workers are eligible for unemployment benefits. Employees who wish to file unemployment claims may do so on the EDD website at https://www.edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm.
If I am a substitute or temporary employee, am I going to be paid for time that was not worked during the closure period?
