Rehiring a Retiree
State law, University policy, and a retiree's retirement plan govern a retired state employee's reemployment eligibility and any limits on how much time the retiree can work.
If you are considering hiring a state retiree, become familiar with the retirement program's reemployment eligibility requirements, as there can be serious consequences if the requirements are not adhered to. See the following:
- Employing a University of Washington Retirement Plan (UWRP) Retiree - includes faculty, librarians, and professional staff originally employed at least 50% for six or more consecutive months.
- Employing a Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) Plan Retiree Before January 1, 2012 - includes PERS, TRS, LEOFF, SERS, or WSPRS.
- Employing a Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) Plan Retiree On or After January 1, 2012 - includes PERS, TRS, LEOFF, SERS, or WSPRS.
