I plan to terminate my PERA-covered employment; however, my employer has asked me to train a new employee for my position. Must I wait 30 days to begin training the new employee?
Yes, you must wait 30 days after termination to be eligible for retirement benefits and you cannot provide services to your employer during those 30 days. You may want to consider terminating after you’ve trained the new person. Also, you must not have had a written or verbal agreement to provide services (training or any other) to your pre-retirement employer before you retire.
