Retired Annuitant Appointments

PRE-RETIREMENT AND RETIREMENT

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Development provides information and resources to assist faculty members with pre-retirement and retirement planning, including the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), Pre-Retirement Transition Benefits (PRTB), and post-retirement employment as a Retired Annuitant.

RETIRED ANNUITANT EMPLOYMENT

Eligibility for Retired Annuitant Appointment

A Retired Annuitant may only serve without reinstatement from retirement and maintain CalPERS retirement benefits if appointed by a public employer:

  • During an emergency to prevent the stoppage of public business or
  • Because the retired person has specialized skills needed to perform work of limited duration (Gov. Code sections 21224, 21229, and 7522.56).

Limited duration work is intended to:

  • Provide extra help to eliminate a backlog,
  • Complete a time limited special project, or
  • Provide short-term support beyond what regular staff can reasonably complete.

Retired Annuitant Employment Requirements

Assignments for Retired Annuitants should have a projected completion date that corresponds to specific assignments, project goals, or deliverables. In general, employment should be limited in duration and tied to a specific task, project, or organizational need identified by the University.

Once the identified work or assignment is completed, the Retired Annuitant鈥檚 employment must end. Retired Annuitants should not be used as a permanent solution to ongoing staffing or operational needs. Their appointments must have a defined duration and may not be indefinite, regardless of the nature of the position or the terms of the applicable employment agreement.

Retired Annuitant appointments that do not have an established end date may create compliance concerns and could result in a violation of applicable CalPERS or other governing requirements.

For additional guidance, please refer to the Employment of a Retiree section of the applicable State Reference Guide or Public Agency & Schools Reference Guide.
