Early Retirement Incentive The Employer may offer to any faculty member or a faculty member may apply for one of the early retirement incentive alternatives described herein, provided the faculty member meets the following criteria. The Union shall be advised in writing of any offer of early retirement made to a faculty member.
Retirement Incentive 1. For a Bargaining Unit Member to qualify for this program, he/she must be a full time (30 or more hours per week) employee in the Hononegah Community High School District #207 for a period of not less than twenty (20) years prior to the date of retirement. Any Bargaining Unit Member for whom the district must pay any additional amount as a penalty to IMRF so that such an employee may benefit from the “IMRF” Early Retirement Incentive Program” will not be eligible to receive any payment as part of this retirement incentive program. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of retirement from the school district, the Bargaining Unit Member must submit a formal letter of retirement indicating his/her intent to retire from the public school systems of Illinois under the provisions of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. Upon meeting the above eligibility requirements, any Bargaining Unit Member who qualifies for this Retirement Incentive Program shall be paid a monetary incentive calculated as follows: The total amount of the incentive shall be equal to Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the base wages plus overtime for each of the “base years.” The base years shall be the most recent complete fiscal year worked by the Bargaining Unit Member prior to providing an irrevocable letter of retirement, as described below. [Example: Employee A provides an irrevocable letter of retirement on March 1, 2014. Employee A’s incentive shall be 25% of total base wages for the 2012-2013 fiscal year including overtime because the 2012-2013 fiscal is the latest complete year worked.] The incentive will be paid in increments described below, based upon the timing of the notice. If a Bargaining Unit Member gives 30-days’ notice of retirement, the Bargaining Unit Member may receive a post-retirement bonus of 25% of his salary of the latest complete year worked. This bonus will be paid 30 days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. A Bargaining Unit Member may provide notice up to four (4) years prior to retiring. If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final work year, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in the final year of employment and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post-retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. The total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2015. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the employee receives a normal pay increase equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post- retirement payment of $4,200.00.] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final two (2) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final two (2) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post- retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s Base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. Her total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2016. During the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 fiscal years, the employee receives normal pay increases equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post-retirement payment of $3,400.00] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final three (3) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final three (3) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post- retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. Her total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2017. During the 2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016- 2017 fiscal years, the employee receives normal pay increases equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2016-2017 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post-retirement payment of $2,600.00.] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final four (4) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final four (4) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post- retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. The total incentive is $5000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2018.
