If employee intends to work more than 600 hours in a calendar year, begin contributions from date PERS membership begins. An example would be an individual who works full-time from January 1 through April 30, completing 680 hours. Because the individual did not also complete the six-month waiting time period, the individual is not eligible for PERS membership. Employees become a member of PERS following six months of service uninterrupted by more than 30 consecutive working days. The six-month waiting time begins with the first full month the employee works.
Contributions continue for all work during the calendar year.
This will allow accurate determination of member s qualifying time. Substitute Teacher Information PERS encourages all employers to use the Substitute Teachers form, maintaining them in your employee s personnel file. This will identify potential multiple employers. Overpaid Contributions All non-qualifying contributions will be returned to the employer. Employee contributions withheld by the employer will be returned to the employee.
