§ 31207 Employee Retirement Credit Transfer

• •If one government group takes over another, the workers from the second group can keep their old job time for retirement benefits.
• •The new boss can decide this without a special contract.
• •This helps workers keep their retirement benefits when their job changes to a new government group.

If the City of Los Angeles takes over the water department from a smaller town, the workers from the smaller town can keep their years of work for their retirement.

The city can say yes to this with a simple vote, and the workers don’t lose their old job time for retirement.
