Policy Proposal: Accrued Leave Conversion for Supplemental Service Credit Toward Retiree Health Benefit Eligibility SUMMARY This policy would allow eligible employees within two years of retirement to convert unused accrued leave into supplemental service credit to meet the 25-year requirement for retiree health benefit eligibility. RECOMMENDATION Approve the Accrued Leave Conversion for Supplemental Service Credit Toward Retiree Health Benefit Eligibility policy as presented, effective 1/1/2026 which allows us to start application processes now. BUDGET INFORMATION This policy is expected to support proactive workforce planning and could reduce budgeted salary expenditures as eligible employees retire. Potential reduction in staffing levels will be subject to department analysis and Board approval. ATTACHMENTS 1. Retirement Policy Highlights and Verbiage Page 111 of 118 [PAGE 112] Highlights: Policy Proposal: Accrued Leave Conversion for Supplemental Service Credit Purpose of the Policy • Helps employees within 2 years of retirement meet the 25-year service requirement for retiree health benefits. • Converts unused accrued leave (vacation/sick time) into supplemental service credit. • Promotes a smooth, timely, and voluntary transition into retirement. Why This Matters • Supports Workforce Planning: Opens positions for succession planning and career growth. • Recognizes Employee Loyalty: Rewards long-serving employees for their dedication. • Protects Employee Well-Being: Reduces health-related concerns by preventing employees from delaying retirement unnecessarily. Key Details • Applies only to employees hired before 7/1/2009 with at least 23 years of continuous service. • Requires 120-day notice of retirement and good standing. • Conversion capped at 2 years (4,160 hours). • Conversion applies only to retiree health eligibility — no impact on pension calculations. Anticipated Impact • Approximately 40 eligible employees (majority in DSS and Sheriff’s Office). • Expectation of gradual retirements. • Opportunity for reinvestment into workforce initiatives. Full Policy Verbiage • Purpose: This policy allows eligible employees to convert unused accrued leave (vacation and sick time) into supplemental service credit to meet the 25-year service requirement for the County’s retiree health insurance benefit (eligibility to remain on the group health plan at no additional cost to the employee). It is designed to encourage productive engagement and timely retirement by addressing situations where employees delay retirement solely to achieve the 25-year milestone, while recognizing their earned leave as a form of service contribution. This policy is intended to promote employee well- Page 112 of 118 [PAGE 113] being and retention but does not create a contractual right. Employees are encouraged to seek independent financial or legal advice before applying. • Scope: This policy applies to employees hired before 7/1/2009 and who are otherwise eligible for retiree insurance under the County’s guidelines but have fewer than 25 years of actual continuous service. This does not apply to any other benefits, unless specified in a separate policy. • Eligibility Criteria: • The employee must have at least 23 years of actual continuous service with the County. • The employee must be in good standing (no active disciplinary actions) and provide notice of retirement intent to HR at least 120 days in advance. • The employee must have sufficient unused accrued PTO (as defined below) to increase the employee's County service time to 25 years when converted to supplemental service credit. • PTO used for conversion must be earned and accrued under the County’s standard PTO policy; it does not include borrowed, advanced, or donated, compensatory or bonus time. • Definitions: • Actual Service Years: Full years of continuous full-time employment, calculated from hire date to separation date. • Accrued PTO: Unused vacation and/or unused sick leave earned and banked as of the retirement application date. • Supplemental Service Credit: Additional time credited toward the 25-year requirement, derived from converting unused vacation and/or sick leave time. One full-service year equals 2080 hours. • Retiree Health Benefit: Converts eligibility to remain on the County's group health plan post-retirement at no extra cost to the employee, which requires 25 years of actual service with supplemental service credit. • Limitations and Exclusions: • Converted PTO does not count toward other calculations, such as salary averages, overtime eligibility, or pension service. Leave used for the purpose of bridging retirement eligibility is essentially ‘frozen’ and cannot be used for any other purpose. • This policy does not guarantee benefit availability; the County reserves the right to amend or terminate the retiree health benefit program. • Employees who separate for reasons other than retirement (e.g., resignation, termination) are ineligible. • Note: Conversions are capped at 2 years or 4,160 hours to ensure fairness and fiscal responsibility.
