Does this mean they get their retirement and a salary?
>>Does this mean they get their retirement and a salary?<<
Exactly.
Yes. This is widespread according to my MPS mole . . .
Wisconsin "public" employees (teachers, police, firefighters, game wardens, &c.) are covered by the Wisconsin Retirement System which allows a retiree to be rehired for full employment. The pension benefit is suspended during the new term of employment and additional information is collected to update maximum salary and length of employment duration statistics. The new factors are used to recalculate the pension to be started when the employee again retires. The ultimate pension number is based on the three highest salaried years and the total number of years employed.

PS I really don't see why anyone would do that 'cuz it doesn't eliminate the rule changes on your health insurance. Retiring now a person would get the single person coverage WEA plan, which is $#100 deductible and pretty much everything else medical covered.
They do it here in Texas as well. I have a friend who retired two years ago from teaching took a year off to travel and is now back as a teacher collecting his pension and teacher pay. He did have to move to a different school district. He of course is a Yellow Dog democRat and sees nothing wrong with what he is doing.
There’s probably a million public employees all told in this country running some form of the double dipping scam. Was joking about it with a friend of mine who works for the post office - I rattled off a list of ways he could scam the system like this. My friend has too much integrity to do it (he was embarrassed at my suggest, however sarcastic it was) but he responded by rattling off a list of his co-workers who are doing exactly that. And the USPS is relatively clean as far as government agencies go...
Exactly, and sometimes an additional stipend because they are not taking health insurance in their new job because they already have retiree health insurance.
But, it isn’t just teachers. My town (Mequon) rehired the Dir. of Public Works after retirement. And the Village of Grafton did the same with their Police Chief a few years ago.
This practice is rampant.
This needs to go hard viral. It's a prime example of unions run amok.
