Public employees' retirement: involuntary termination: reinstatement.
Existing law, the Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) , creates the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for the purpose of providing pension benefits to state employees and employees of contracting agencies and prescribes the rights and duties of members of the system and their beneficiaries. PERS provides defined benefits to members based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. PERL requires a person who has retired under PERS following an involuntary termination of his or her employment to be reinstated to membership in that system, effective as of the date from which salary is awarded, if the person is reinstated to employment pursuant to an administrative or judicial proceeding and certain other conditions are met, as specified. PERL also requires the assets of the system, including, but not limited to, employee contributions, employer contributions, and investment income, to be deposited into the Public Employees' Retirement Fund, a continuously appropriated fund.
