TRS retirees must have service break of at least one month from Workday retirement date before returning to work under Modified Service or a Phased Retirement Contract. Texas ORP retirees may return to work at any time without restrictions on employment. The retiree is responsible for checking with their retirement program provider about any possible ramifications before returning to service.
Problem: While processing a termination business process in Workday with reason of "retirement," you receive the error "This termination reason is only available for employees pre-approved for retirement. Please contact your HR Benefits Specialist."
Solution: Either a) the prospective retiree has not yet submitted the necessary paperwork to central HR, or b) central HR has not yet processed their paperwork.
