As life expectancies increase, many people will find themselves spending up to one third of their lives in retirement. That is why it is as important to plan for retirement as it is to plan a career. For this reason, we have put together a suggested 5 Step Plan for Retirement that you may find helpful.
In addition, we are determined to inform you of the retirement plan benefits you have already earned as a member of our System.
Please note that the new Tier 5 legislation does not affect current members (those registered in the Employees' Retirement System before January 1, 2010 and those registered in the Police & Fire Retirement System before January 9, 2010). Key benefit changes for future Tier 5 members.
