New Retiree Accumulated Sick Leave Payment Option
Payments are considered taxable income, and are typically paid out in
three yearly installments. Beginning June 1, 2006, RASL-eligible retirees
have the option of using the Deferred Compensation (457) plan for all or
part of their first RASL payment. To accommodate the recent changes and to
streamline the application process, new and revised RASL forms have been
created.
To initiate this action, the employee must do the following:
- Become enrolled in deferred compensation with Nationwide prior to
his or her separation date
- Submit a deferral notification form to Nationwide prior to his or
her separation date
- Elect the deferral option on the RASL application form, to be submitted
to UA Payroll Office
- Complete the RASL Employee Checklist, to be submitted to UA Payroll
Office
- Complete a W -4 and a W -2 form, to be submitted to UA Payroll Office
- Immediately following the date of separation, submit all RASL forms to the
appropriate agency
- Ensure that his or her retirement date is within 14 days of the date of
separation
