Prior Service
The University will include prior employment for purposes of meeting retirement
eligibility providing the length of service is five years or more. Prior
University service of less than five years will be restored only after the
individual works for a minimum of five consecutive years. However, where
a break in service is four months or less, the 5-year service requirement
will be waived and all eligible prior service will be restored. Only permanent
employment of 50% time or more as a faculty, professional, salaried or hourly
staff employee will be considered.
Note: Upon retirement, individuals receive payment for unused vacation.
The retiree's department completes all paperwork to separate the individual
from the University and confirms unused vacation pay on the Job Employee
Data form (JED).
