BOARD POLICY
HIRING OF DISTRICT RETIREES
PURPOSE
To establish a policy for the hiring of District retirees.
POLICY
The District occasionally may have the need to hire a retired employee for legitimate
eJe
business reasons. The District may hire, without reinstatement to the retirement
system, a former District employee if the retiree is needed due to an emergency
situation that has the potential to halt critical public services or if they possess a skill set
needed to perform specialized work of a limited duration. The intent of the District in
hiring any District retiree is to address a short-term need and not as a means for
providing ongoing employment or innome to the retiree
The Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) and Section
7522.56 of the California Government Code dictate many of the rules governing the
hiring of District retirees. The District may hire District retirees subject to the following
conditions:
The retiree cannot work more than 960 hours per fiscal year. The 960-hour
limit is inclusive for any service(s) performed by the retiree for any employer
that is governed by the County Employees' Retirement Law (CERL).
The retiree's hourly rate of pay cannot be less than the minimum or exceed
the maximum of the published salary range for the job classification for which
they are hired.
The retiree will receive no service credit or retirement rights for the temporary
assignment.
If the retiree received any unemployment insurance compensation in the 12
months preceding the appointment, he or she is ineligible to be reemployed
by the District.

HIRING OF DISTRICT RETIREES
Page 2of2
The retiree must wait 180 days following the effective date of retirement in
order to be reemployed at the District UNLESS the District certifies that the
appointment is necessary prior to conclusion of the 180-day waiting period
and the action is approved in a public meeting by the Board of Directors. If
the retiree received any retirement incentive from the District, he or she is
ineligible to be hired prior to the 180 days.
