§ 21112 Partial Service Retirement Worktime

Key Takeaways

  • •If you're close to retiring but still want to work, you can work less hours (but not too much less).
  • •You can work 20% to 60% fewer hours than a full-time job.
  • •Your pay and retirement benefits will also be reduced by the same percentage as your hours.

Example

A teacher who usually works 40 hours a week wants to work less but isn't ready to fully retire.

The teacher and the school agree she will work 24 hours a week instead of 40. This is a 40% reduction in hours. Her pay and retirement benefits will also be reduced by 40%.
