Unreduced retirement benefits are available at the following age and service combinations:

Retirement Formulas Used:

If the Retirement High-3 is less than $5,000:

  1. Compute [(Retirement High-3 x 1%) + $25].
  2. Compute [Step 1 x Years of Service].
  3. Compute [Step 2 / 12] (subject to a maximum of [(Retirement High-3 x 80%) / 12]).

    For part-time employees (Work Schedules P, Q, S, and T), the monthly annuity is then prorated by the employee's PP 01 tour of duty. This is done because the tour-of-duty proration is not available.

  4. Compute [Step 3 x (PP 01 Tour-of-Duty Hours / 80)].

If the Retirement High-3 is $5,000 or more:

  1. Compute [1.50% x First 5 Years of Service].
  2. Compute [1.75% x Second 5 Years of Service].
  3. Compute [2% x Remaining Years of Service].
  4. Compute [Step 1 + Step 2 + Step 3].
  5. Compute [Retirement High-3 x Step 4].
  6. Compute [Step 5 x 12] (subject to a maximum of [(Retirement High-3 x 80%) x 12]).

    For part-time employees (Work Schedules P, Q, S, and T), the monthly annuity is then prorated by the employee's PP 01 tour of duty. This is done because the full tour-of-duty proration is not available.

  7. Compute [Step 6 x (PP 01 Tour-of-Duty Hours / 80)].
