Employees may not make "Special Section 457 Catch-Up" contributions in the year they actually retire/attain their NRA. To the extent allowed by federal and state law and the City's deferred compensation plan, the City will allow, in 1 or more of the 3 calendar years ending prior to an employee's planned retirement date/NRA (or alternate NRA), the conversion of accrued sick leave at a rate of 2.25 hours for 1 hour of cash contribution, at the employee's base rate of pay in effect at the time of conversion, to the City's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan.

However, based on the total amount of "457 Catch-Up" contributions available to the employee, accumulated sick leave hours, and the employee's designated retirement date/NRA (or alternate NRA), "457 Catch-Up" contributions may occur over a shorter period of time prior to retirement; in no event, however, shall any contribution occur in the year the employee actually retires/attains his/her NRA.
