Oregon PERS

PERS stands for Public Employees Retirement System. This is a state operated pension program for public employees which both Employees and their Employers contribute to. After a six (6) month waiting period, a deduction of 6% of your gross wages will be contributed from your paycheck to your PERS account. Reynolds matches this percentage at 5.86% which funds retirement benefits, death benefits, and administrative expenses. These percentages are determined and updated by the PERS Board every even numbered year going in to effect every odd numbered year. Linked below are some additional resources to understanding PERS and its benefits.

Retirement Information

Continuing Health Insurance

If you are retiring under the age of 65, you may remain on the OEBB benefits if you choose. However, you may be liable for the full cost of the insurance plans. Please reach out to the Benefits Team to determine the cost of continuing your OEBB benefits during retirement.

Payment for continuing health insurance will need to be arranged via an ACH pull from a designated checking account. Please include a voided check with the ACH Payment Authorization Form. ACH deductions will be on or about the 10th day of each month. If the 10th falls on a weekend or a holiday, the payment will be deducted on the following business day.

All supplemental insurances (AFLAC, American Fidelity, Colonial, life insurance, any TSA, PERS, etc.) would end with your employment with Reynolds. Some policies are portable, meaning you can contact the provider and they can direct bill you for the policy.
