The Retiree Skills Banks list offers campus department the option of hiring a Retiree who already possesses campus knowledge. If you would like to continue to work, temporary employment opportunities exist on campus. Networking is also a great way to learn of temporary/retiree employment opportunities.

PERA retirees may work for a PERA-affiliated employer up to 110 days per calendar year; more than four hours of work is considered a day. See the PERA web site for more information.
