What is a PERS?
Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS)
Where does PERS money come from?
The largest contribution comes from CalPERS investment dollars, with additional funding from employer and employee contributions. Some workers currently contribute up to 16% of their paychecks to help fund their own pensions. The CalPERS Pension Buck illustrates the sources of income that fund public employee pensions.
Can you collect PERS and Social Security?
When you retire, you’ll get your public pension, but don’t count on getting your full Social Security benefit. Under federal law, any Social Security benefits you earned will be reduced if you were a federal, state or local government employee who earned a pension on wages that were not covered by Social Security.

What happens if you don’t retain an employee?
Employee retention matters. Failing to retain a key employee is costly to the bottom line and creates organizational issues such as insecure coworkers, excess job duties that coworkers must absorb, time invested in recruiting, hiring, and training a new employee.
What’s the best way to retain your staff?
Make staff members feel appreciated. Frequently saying thank you for a job well done goes a long way. And, monetary rewards, bonuses, and gifts make the thank you even more significant. Raises tied to accomplishments and achievement will help you retain staff probably more than any other action.
