OC Register: Employees union, county reach landmark pension deal
This isn't for safety members but could it be what's in the future for potential SB County employees? But this also points out that, contrary to popular belief and media hype, employees DO pay for part of their retirement - the counties nor the taxpayers fund the whole pension fund.
"...Here's how it works: existing county employees could decide whether to keep their old benefits, or select a hybrid plan that includes reduced pension and a defined contribution plan, which is similar to a 401k. New employees also would get to choose between the two plans.OC Register has a few more on the pension negotiations, MOU alterations and tussles between safety unions and administration.For example, an employee who has been working at the county for 30 years and makes $60,000, now pays about $700 a month toward his pension. He can retire at age 55 and collect $4,050 per month.
Under the new plan, employees would retire later – at 65 – and collect less from their pensions – about $2,430 a month for a 30-year employee. But when they're working, they'd pay less each month – about $360 for the employee who makes $60,000. Plus, they could decide how much to contribute to the 401a plan, which the county would generally match up to two percent...."
