PENSION

Can anyone describe the pension for the BPD. How many years to retire , who pays what into the pension, also what is the medical coverage after you retire. Thanks in advance.......

20 years at age 45. The DROP is availabale up to 5 years. Longevity, half of unsued sicktime and all vacation time payed to you when you retire or enter the DROP. Discounted insurance rates are available to retirees.

Does any part of your salary go towards your pension? I know in some depts. it is as high as 8-9%.

5.5&, city contributes 8%

Why are you asking? Do you want to come to BPD and plan to retire????
