[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is a step? What is the average step?

How does the pension figure into the salary?[/quote]

Steps:
Since I have been hired, we have gotten steps about 75% of the time.  They are around $2-2.5k

Pension:
Someone hired today gets 1% pension per year of service based on the average of your highest 5 years, and for full benefits you must be 60 with 30 years of service.

Someone hired before 2010 gets 1.7% and could retire with [b]full benefits at 50 with 30 years of service.[/b][/quote]

What do you mean by full benefits? We don't get free healthcare or anything like that.

We don't get [u]full[/u] retirement at 50, with 30 years of service. Even if we did, how many people started working for FCPS at age 20 or lower? Very few, I'm sure. Most people who have spent their career in FCPS probably started between age 22 and 30. Even most of those in non-instructional positions probably didn't begin at age 20 or younger. [/quote]

It typically means full salary. Why don’t you know this?  [b]And what do you mean about working at age 20 or lower?[/b] I’m sure you can get full benefits as soon as you hit the 30 year mark. The number 50 or 60 is just a starting number. I’m sorry but your comment was really really dumb. Even at 60 you could easily live another 20 years and get a full salary equal to the last five years. That is huge. [/quote]

Meaning a 50 year old in FCPS couldn’t have possibly worked 30 years already. They would still be in college at age 20. How do you not understand that? FCPS requires an age plus 30 years of service. A 50 year old could never have 30 years already. Duh.[/quote]

What I understand is that they could if they started at 20 and if they started at 25 they could get full benefits by 55.[/quote]

How can anyone start at 20 though? You need a 4 year degree to teach and people graduate from high school at 18. It would be impossible to start a teaching career at 20.[/quote]
