Employees are immediately eligible for additional benefits if the appointment is expected to continue for more than 12 months and the employee is expected to work at least 600 hours each calendar year. Employees are eligible to obtain a staff ID card. Contact your Personnel Representative or Supervisor for information. Employees are eligible to participate in a savings plan through the Credit Union.
Loans are available to employees meeting specific criteria.
Employees may elect to join this program at any time. This option allows you to use a portion of your compensation, normally subject to Federal and State income tax, to purchase supplemental retirement annuity benefits. These monies become taxable upon withdrawal from the tax shelter. LTEs who are eligible for participation in the State's retirement plan will have the current required contribution deducted from their earnings. The state will also contribute toward the retirement account.
