Payment of Retirement Costs


If a faculty or professional member is retiring, retiree health care costs (8% of salary) will be funded from savings realized from the reduction of the line to the mid-point or filled average assistant professor salary. Lines will not be reduced below the mid-point or average assistant professor salary in the department, even if funds recovered are insufficient to cover full retiree health care costs.

For faculty and professional retirements, funds must be made available from the unit to cover any retirement payout. Options available to cover this payment are: Use of funds from reduction of the line to the mid-point or average through fiscal year-end; hold the line vacant until sufficient funds are generated to cover the payout; or pay the costs out of fund available to the unit.
