To ensure that we make the most of our time together, please take a minute to review and think about the questions prior to the meeting.

Hope to see you on April 23!

    Discussion Topics and Questions
    • Sustainability
      • SERS has evaluated sustainability over the past year. Have you been following the sustainability process?
      • What should be the criteria to qualify as a year of service?
        • What is a typical work year for your staff? More than 120 days?
        • What is considered a standard work year for districts?
        • What should the right number be to earn a full year of SERS service credit?
      • For individuals who fall within the 120-180 day category:
        • Are these individuals working the entire year? Or are they mainly partial-year employees?
        • Do these individuals transition from a 120-day threshold early in career, with 180 day year in later service?
        • Are there positions that are more than 120 days, but less than 180 days? Are these positions made up of transitionary employees?
    • Recruitment and Retention of Employees/Staff
      • Do you believe the SERS benefit structure, supports your efforts to attract and retain employees? For the long term?
      • Does our pension benefit plan contribute to your ability to attract and retain employees? Retiree health care?
      • If SERS ultimately decided to make changes to benefit, would that be problematic to apply those changes to new hires only. Is that a problem for attracting new employees?
    • Employee Count
      • Over last 5 years has your employee count increased or decreased?
      • Do you expect that trend to continue?
