- All employee groups would be in one retirement system. Public employees, Public safety, Fire Fighters and judges would be together in one plan.
- Employees would be given the opportunity, upon hire, to choose between two different plans. (hired after July 1,2011). They would choose either Plan A or Plan B.
- Plan A: Defined Contribution Plan (8% retirement contribution into a 401(a) plan that would be administered by the Utah Retirement System)
- Plan B: A Hybrid Defined Benefit/Defined Contribution Plan with a 35 year minimum service requirement, 1% per year service credit, 2.5% COLA based on the Consumer Price Index, and based on highest five years of salary. The Hybrid plan would also have a contribution to a 401(a) plan.
UEA opposes any changes to our retirement plan. Our future teachers need us to fight for them.
