A TSERS employer who re-hires a TSERS or Consolidated Judicial Retirement System (CJRS) retiree in a temporary position should carefully evaluate the temporary job classification so that the retiree will not be in violation of return-to-work laws:

• Temporary positions should have a beginning and an ending date of employment.
   
• Positions classified as temporary are generally restricted to employment periods that are no longer than 12 months.
   
• While the Retirement Systems Division cannot advise you on how to classify a position, please contact our office if you need assistance in determining if a position meets TSERS membership requirements.
   
• A re-hired TSERS or CJRS retiree will be in violation of return-to-work laws if the TSERS employer re-hires the retiree in a position that is incorrectly classified as temporary but should have been a contributing membership position.
