Retirement
Benefit-eligible employees are automatically members of the Utah Retirement Systems (URS). The District contributes to the URS plan on your behalf each month. After the four-year vesting period, you will have either the Hybrid option (a combination of a pension with a 401k plan) or the 401k option, both employer-paid. You may also enhance your retirement by contributing additional money from your paychecks into a 401k, 457, Traditional IRA, or Roth IRA.
Learn more about URS retirement plans and investment options at www.urs.org. For questions, contact the Payroll Department at 801-567-8154.
