Policy on phased retirement revised
Phased Retirement:
The Kansas Legislature has authorized the Kansas Board of Regents to develop and implement a phased retirement program for unclassified employees who are at least 55 years of age and who have completed at least 10 years of full-time service at a Regents University (see K.S.A. 76-746, as amended). The Kansas Board of Regents has chosen to develop and implement such a program and has promulgated regulations which can be found at Article 12 of Chapter 88 of the Kansas Administrative Regulations (a copy of the regulations may also be obtained from the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel). Participation in the phased retirement program shall be voluntary on the part of the unclassified employee and Wichita State University, except that the University shall refuse to enter into such an arrangement when execution of such an agreement is deemed not to be in the best interests of Wichita State University.
Those interested in additional details of the phased retirement program may contact the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel and/or the employee benefits officer in the Office of Human Resources. Those interested in participation should advise their immediate supervisor, who should then contact the office of their divisional vice president. All requests for participation must be submitted in writing.
