500.415 DRS RETIREE RETURN TO WORK POLICY

Washington state law and the Washington state Department of Retirement System (DRS) retiree's retirement 计划 govern a retired state employee's reemployment eligibility and any limits on how much time the retiree can work. It is college policy to comply with Washington state law governing the reemployment of DRS retirees, and to require that all DRS retirees seeking WVC employment, or re-employment, follow the normal job application and referral procedures. It is a violation of state law and WVC policy for there to be any pre-retirement oral or written agreement between individuals of a DRS 计划 (PERS, PSERS, TRS, SERS, LEOFF, or WSPRS) and any state employer that results in the individual being hired into a WVC position.

For purposes of this procedure, “retirement” from a DRS 计划 at WVC means a complete separation (including working as a volunteer) for a minimum of 30 days immediately following the member’s retirement date (as defined in this procedure).

Hiring departments must follow the established hiring procedure for the position they are seeking to fill.
  2. All DRS retirees must satisfy the DRS requirement for separation and retirement from service prior to accepting employment with the college.
  3. 员工 who are retired from a DRS 计划 are subject to limitations in terms of how many hours they can work without losing their state pension.

The information is provided to assist employees and supervisors in understanding the rules that apply to the post-retirement employment of DRS 计划 retirees. However, if there is any discrepancy between this information and the current DRS rules, the DRS rules will prevail.
