Retirement Plans
Employees in a salaried non-student, benefits-eligible position who work at least half-time (50% FTE, or 20 hours a week) are required to participate in a retirement plan. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) plan. TRS is a defined benefit plan. Some employees (generally full-time faculty, librarians, coaches, general counsel, and other administrators) are able to waive the TRS and enroll in the Optional Retirement Program.
