In plain language

Nineteen words that catch people out. A State employee who elects deferred retirement is not eligible for supplemental compensation. Deferred retirement means leaving State service before retirement age with enough service credit to draw a pension later, and choosing it forfeits the sick leave payout entirely. Anyone weighing an early departure against the value of accumulated sick leave needs this section before they decide, not after.
