Retirement
See information specific to faculty retirement at COE: Retirement - Faculty.
Units cannot process retirements in Workday until after the retirement paperwork has been approved and processed by Central HR. Please submit a ticket through the HR Portal to contact Benefits and Central HR.
Information for retirees
The prospective retiree should carefully review HR: Pre-Retirement Checklist for important information prior to beginning the retirement process. Information on employment after retirement can also be found on the checklist. Information on payroll and insurance for retirees can be found on the payroll website.
Employment After Retirement
For additional information pertaining to faculty retirees, see COE: Hiring Retired Faculty.
The rules for returning to work are different for TRS and ORP retirees, as well as retirees from The University of Texas System or other state institutions and agencies. The retiree is responsible for checking with their retirement program provider about any possible ramifications before returning to service. See HR: Employment After Retirement for more information.
TRS retirees
TRS participants who plan to work in Texas public education after retiring should carefully review all requirements that apply to their situation to ensure that they do not revoke their retirement or lose monthly annuity payments by virtue of working in excess of allowable limits set by TRS. Human Resources strongly encourages TRS retirees to review the TRS Employment After Retirement Brochure (PDF) provided by TRS and to contact TRS directly if considering returning to work.
ORP retirees
Texas ORP retirees may return to work at any time without restrictions on employment.
