Friday Feature – Dual Retirement

Not all employees fit into specific categories. Take for instance, this real-life employee at one of our customers. The employee is a Behavior Intervention Specialist and a substitute teacher. Now, that may not sound amazing, but it is because those two positions have different retirement plans. The Behavior Intervention Specialist requires membership in PERS and the substitute teacher requires membership in STRS. What is even more amazing is that Escape Online supports this person in being a member of both retirement systems. It is called, “Dual Retirement.” Check it out.

From the Persons record in Retirement, you see the employee has defined addons for these positions. (Addons are Escape Online’s way of tracking work that is not related to a position, like substitutes.)

In that same record, you see two retirement records, one for each retirement system. It is really that simple.  Just a few setup records and Escape Online does the rest. (You can see all of this setup from the Employee record, too!)

Finally, if we look at the employee’s payroll snapshot, we can see that Escape Online keeps track of each of the retirement systems separately, but completely.

Maybe say something like although not many employees are in multiple systems, those that are cause quite a headache for retirement techs. We go the distance for all our users.

Now, that really is amazing!
