Fairfax board to vote on raising minimum retirement age

Published



The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is considering major changes to its employee retirement systems, including raising the minimum retirement age, in an effort to combat the growing cost of pensions.

The board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on revisions that would raise the minimum retirement age from 50 to 55, cap unused sick leave at 2,080 hours, raise the “Rule of 80,” which uses age and years of service to determine when an employee can retire, to the “Rule of 85,” and other measures.
