We asked about continued state employment for those who have only a few years remaining until retirement, he continued. Three of us need five years or less. To retire at 55, you need 30 years of service. They said they would look into it. The USD Student Health staff was also told they would be guaranteed employment for one year with a health care contractor, but not necessarily in a student health setting, Hudson said.
Timing is also a concern.
We found out April 18, Hudson said. If something is done at the beginning of the new fiscal year July 1 that may not be adequate time to look at what our options are including staying with the contractor or looking at other job opportunities. No time line has been set, however. Moser will draft the proposal and I will send it off when I m given the go-ahead by the president, he said. As soon as we know when the next step will be taken, the Student Health staff will be informed, Lorenz added.
