Background on the Post Employment Benefits Task Force
The Post-Employment Benefit Task Force has been charged to:
- Consider the impact of issues such as, but not limited to, market competitiveness, talent management, workforce development and renewal, workforce behavior, affordability and sustainability;
- Include in its recommendations an analysis based on multiple criteria including cost, long-term funding options and cash flow, as well as an assessment of the impact of the recommendations on the long-term financial integrity of the University;
- Complete its work within a timeframe sufficient to adequately analyze a range of pension and retiree health options while seeking to prudently resolve the issues contained in its charge;
- Make recommendations that seek to enhance the ability of the Regents to meet their education obligations to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff, as well as their fiduciary obligations for all current and future UC Retirement System plans.
The Task Force consists of two groups: A Steering Committee and a Work Group. Representatives from a cross section of UC stakeholders including the Academic Senate; campus and medical center leadership, as well as staff and retiree representatives serve on the Task Force. Members of the Steering Committee and Work Group participate on one of three work teams focused on finance, pension and retiree health.
