New Pension Calculation Guidelines
Dear Members of IBEW Local 30,
The Pension Contribution Memo was issued by Div. of Pensions and Benefits to provide guidance to payroll certification officers when calculating pensionable salary for those retiring in the near future.
If you have any questions concerning salary calculations used for pension purposes IBEW Local 30 recommends you contact your department/agency payroll office.
You can expect to see a lump sum pension deduction in your paycheck in the near future to cover the original 2% COLA effective time period July 2020-July 2021.
For example, if you earn a salary of $100,000 then the 2% COLA would be $2000 and 7.5% (pension rate) of that would be $150 additional pension contribution you owe.
This information has already been sent out to department and agency payroll offices.
Also please be advised pension deductions for the 2% COLA you received in this week’s paycheck has been in effect as of the first full pay period in July 2021. Please refer to your pay stub for verification of this deduction.
I know this can be confusing however we have been advised efforts are underway to ensure pensionable salary calculations will be done accurately.
In Solidarity,
Biff Lowry, President
IBEW Local 30
