8. Items For Board Action

8.A. Employee Handbook 2023-24
Description:
Employees who retire from the District with less than 15 years of service are not vested in their 403b contributions. The District proposes adding the following language to the Employee Handbook that makes an exception for an employee vesting period for those employees with less than 15 years of service but eligible to retire (age 55 with ten years of service) to receive the 403b matching contribution. The language would read:
"There is one exception to the above vesting determination for both Tiers 3 and 4. If an employee is employed with the District for the fiscal year and does not return for the new school year (not employed as of September 15 of the same calendar year) due to retirement (retirement meaning at least age 55 with at least ten years of teaching experience in the District and applying for the WRS pension benefit at severance), the District will grant the non-elective 403 (b) contribution to the employee for the last fiscal year of employment. Besides being granted the year of contributions due to retirement, the School Board will also grant 100% vesting of 403(b) contributions to such employee at retirement, even if the employee did not have 15 years of service." |
