Dual Employment

Dual Employment Restrictions - ORP

SUSORP participants are prohibited from simultaneously participating in more than one state retirement plan or membership class. Therefore, if you are simultaneously employed in two or more positions with state retirement coverage, and only one of these positions is ORP-eligible, you must make a choice. You may enroll (or remain enrolled) in ORP, but in that case only the salary you earn in the ORP-eligible position will be subject to employer contributions and accrue toward your future retirement benefit. If, however, you elect to become a member of the FRS within 90 days of becoming dually employed, your employer's contributions will be based on your total compensation from all your covered employment, and all such employment will apply toward the calculation of your FRS benefit (assuming that you eventually retire from the FRS). (Special provisions apply if the position you hold that is not ORP-eligible is an elective office covered by the FRS Elected Officers' Class.)
If you are participating in the SUSORP and you become dually employed, you must notify your employer and verify your retirement plan with each employer.
When you cease to be dually employed, you may elect to remain in FRS, or if you are still filling an ORP-eligible position, you may elect to return to ORP membership. If you fail to elect membership in the SUSORP within 90 days of ending your dual employment status, you will become a compulsory FRS member, unless you are filling a faculty position for which ORP membership is mandatory pursuant to s. 121.051(1)(a), F.S.

Dual Employment Restrictions - FRS Plans

FRS Pension Plan and FRS Investment Plan members are prohibited from simultaneously participating in more than one State retirement plan or FRS class of membership. If a member of the Regular Class of the FRS becomes dually employed in a position belonging to another membership class, special provisions apply. FRS members should refer to the retirement guide for their membership class (available online) and the official FRS rules.
If you are participating in the FRS Pension Plan or the FRS Investment Plan and you become dually employed, you must notify your employer and verify your retirement plan with each employer.
