Benefits
  • Florida Retirement System (FRS)
    • All employees have two choices of retirement plans: The FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. Your employer contributes the majority of your FRS retirement plan savings. A mandatory 3% pretax contribution is deducted from your paycheck into your retirement account. For additional information on these great plans visit the Florida Retirement System website at MyFRS.com. New FRS members enrolling in the pension plan qualify for a benefit after 8 years of services; those enrolling in the Investment Plan qualify for a benefit after 1 year.
