PARS Retirement and Separation Incentives (SRP and SIP)

PARS Retirement and Separation Incentives are designed to increase and accelerate the retirement rate over and above natural attrition.  This enables an agency to accomplish specific objectives such as fiscal savings, personnel restructuring, program enhancement, etc.  Fiscal savings are driven by:

  • Retirement of employees  high on the salary  schedule and

  • Replacement with employees lower on the salary schedule

PARS-SRP and PARS-SIP provide valuable benefits to departing employees and increased bargaining flexibility to both the Agency and bargaining units, producing a win-win situation for both the Agency and employees.

Some of the benefits include:

Agency Benefits

Reduced Compensation Costs
Opportunity for Staff Reorganization
Opportunity for Program Enhancement
Customized Tax-Qualified Plan
PARS "Turn-Key" Plan Administration
 

Employee Benefits

Increased Retirement/Seperation Income
Choice of Payout Options
IRA or Qualified Plan Rollover
Opportunity to Retire Earlier
Personalized Enrollment Process
Toll-Free Service Telephone Access
 

What's in it for the Employee?

Additional income from PARS plans can enable employees to retire or depart earlier.
