Q: What forms do I need to complete prior to retirement?
A: You must apply for retirement online, your Retirement Certification (TRS-8) and Sick Leave Certification forms will be sent directly to your employer. Once you apply for retirement, your employer will be notified and will submit the completed forms to TRS.  

You must also submit your Application for Refund of Contributions online. As with the forms mentioned above, once you complete your portion of the form, your employer is automatically notified. The Sick Leave Certification form is completed after you receive your last payroll check.

Q: Can I be paid for unused vacation days?
A: In the event of retirement, resignation, or termination of employment, the individual shall be paid in a lump sum for any earned but unused days of annual leave, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) days.  

Q: Can I be paid for unused sick leave?
A: No, GCSS does not pay for unused sick leave. 
Typically, for every 20 days of unused sick leave you accumulate while working in a TRS covered position, TRS awards one month of service credit. Nine months of unused sick leave is equal to one year of service credit, regardless of the number of months worked per year. You must accumulate at least 60 days of unused sick leave to qualify. TRS calculates sick leave credit only after receiving Sick Leave Certification forms from all of your TRS covered employers. Your current/final employer must submit the form after your last day of work. However, your previous employers may submit the form at any time. We recommend that you provide all of your previous employers with the form well in advance of your retirement date. This will expedite the processing of your unused sick leave credit at retirement.
SICK LEAVE LIMITATIONS
Unused sick leave credit is allowed for Georgia teaching service, including repurchased Georgia teaching service and service transferred from local retirement plans. Georgia law, however, does not permit the awarding of unused sick leave credit for the following service: 
⦁    Out-of-State  
⦁    Study Leave  
⦁    Military  
⦁    Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia  
⦁    Maternity Leave  
⦁    Private School 
⦁    Air Time  
⦁    Public School Employees Retirement System 
Creditable sick leave accumulates at a maximum rate of 1¼ days per month. 
⦁    If you worked in a system which awards more than 1¼ days per month, your earned total will be reduced by TRS to meet this standard. 
⦁    If you worked in a system which awards less than 1¼ days per month, no adjustment will be made. 
While sick leave credit cannot be used to achieve a vested status, it can be added to your creditable service at the time of your retirement. Total creditable service cannot exceed a maximum of 40 years. Also, credit can not be established if you do not have at least 60 days of unused, unpaid sick leave.
