Eligibility to Participate- from the ETF Your Benefit Handbook (ET-2119) Rev10/13 Depending on when you began your job, your job will have to meet one of these two standards for it to be covered under the WRS.
- One-third standard -- A position that is subject to the one-third standard meets WRS participation standards if you are expected to work at least one-third of full-time (600 hours for non-teaching employees) for at least one year from date of hire. You will remain eligible even if your job subsequently drops below one-third.
- Two-thirds standard -- A position that is subject to the two-thirds standard meets WRS participation standards if you are expected to work at least two-thirds of full-time (1200 hours for non-teaching employees) for at least one year from date of hire. You will remain eligible even if your job subsequently drops below two-thirds.
If you were a continuing employee as of July 1, 2011, your job must meet the one-third standard. You will remain eligible even if your job subsequently drops below one-third. If you were hired after July 1, 2011:
- If you were a participating employee before July 1, 2011, left WRS service, did not take
- A separation benefit, and are now returning in a new job, your job must meet the one-third standard.
- If you were a participating employee before July 1, 2011, left WRS service, took a separation benefit, and are now returning in a new job, your job must meet the two-thirds standard.
- If you were not a participating employee before July 1, 2011, your job must meet the two-thirds standard.*
If you are not expected to meet these eligibility criteria when you are hired, you will not be enrolled in the WRS at that time. However, if you subsequently work at least 12 months, and in any 12-month period you meet the hour's requirement, you are prospectively enrolled in the WRS. In this situation, your WRS coverage is not retroactive. WRS Mandatory Employee Contributions If your employment is eligible to be covered under the WRS, you must make employee-required contributions. These contributions are credited to your individual WRS account. These contributions are vested immediately. Your contributions are calculated as a percentage of your WRS earnings. The contribution rates are different for each WRS employment category. The rates generally change from year to year based on the recommendation of the consulting actuary. Your employer may have agreed to pay part or all of your employee required WRS contributions on your behalf, pursuant to a contract or collective bargaining agreement entered into prior to June 29, 2011. In addition, certain employees retained the right to bargain with their employers after that date over who will pay the employee-required contributions.
