The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and Government Code 7522.56 & 21224 requires that individuals who retire from a CalPERS agency wait 180 days before being reemployed by the same or another CalPERS Agency unless the individual chooses to reinstate from retirement. Government Code 7522.56 allows exceptions to this 180-day waiting period under certain circumstances including rehiring retirees in an extra help status to perform work of limited term duration and limited term special project work. Staff recommends approval of the attached CalPERS Resolutions to allow the hire of one retired annuitant, Richard Reed, for the Board of Supervisors, to provide continued uninterrupted support to the Fourth District and one retired annuitant, Eugene Wais, for General Services, to provide a transfer of knowledge for a number of critical projects.
