Retirement

Employees who retire are entitled to be paid for all accrued annual leave not to exceed 40 days. Employees may elect not to receive payment for accrued annual leave and may apply this balance as well as any accrued sick leave balance toward extended insurance coverage or to acquire additional credited service in the retirement system.

Eligible retirees may elect medical insurance coverage for themselves and their eligible dependents and optional life insurance for themselves; however, participation is NOT automatically continued at the time of retirement. The retiree must complete new enrollment cards to continue coverage.
