CalPERS

CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM (CalPERS) is the retirement system in which eligible employees of Cal Poly Humboldt participate. Full-time appointments that exceed six months and half-time appointments averaging 20 hours per week for one year or longer require membership in CalPERS.

Humboldt employees who are members of the CalPERS system are in the "State Miscellaneous, First Tier" plan, or one of the Public Safety plans, depending on classification.  For a general overview of CalPERS membership and benefits, please review the following guide:  Welcome to CalPERS: A Benefits Guide for State Members (PUB 4)

We encourage employees enrolled in CalPERS to create an account with my|CalPERS. This will allow employees to view service credit, account balance, view annual statements and keep track of other important account information.
