A recent story in the New York Times quotes somebody as writing:
I want the board to hear from Uber employees that it’s [sic] made the
wrong decision …
The [sic] here implies that this usage is incorrect. However, it's can be a contraction of both it is or it has, and expanding it out as the latter seems fine to me:
I want the board to hear from Uber employees that it has made the
wrong decision …
Is the NYT being hypercorrect?

The sic does not appear in the article as currently posted by the New York Times. The sentence is grammatical as stands, that is, as quoted. Why a sic was there is beyond the ken of most educated people.
