Important reminders from University Retirement

Return Retirement Plan Acknowledgements in a timely manner

Please remember to forward signed Retirement Plan Acknowledgements to UF Retirement in a timely manner. All incoming ORP-eligible staff and faculty should be asked to review and sign the document, and be provided with a copy for their records. The form can be found on our web site. Please send all signed statements to PO Box 115005, Attention: Eric Kegley.

One-time window made available to switch from ORP to FRS

Eligible participants in the State University System's Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) will have an opportunity to opt out of the ORP and into the Florida Pension Plan or the Florida Investment Plan. JHMHSC-mandated faculty are not eligible for this opt-out.

Participants who wish to change to the Pension Plan will receive service credit for the total number of years in the ORP. This service credit will be purchased with funds in participants' ORP accounts; any remaining cost will be paid by participants from personal funds.

Participants wishing to change to the Investment Plan will have employer contributions from the date of election forward placed in the Investment Plan, and all assets previously contributed to the ORP plan will remain in the ORP.

Information from the Division of Retirement will be mailed to all eligible participants during the last week of November.

Questions? Contact University Benefits and Retirement at 392-2477 (SC 622-2477) or retirement@ufl.edu.

TEAMS employees: Plan now for December leave cash out

TEAMS employees are eligible to cash out up to 16 hours of vacation leave—regardless of FTE—during the pay period of November 16 to November 29, provided 40 hours of vacation leave remain on balance after the end of that pay period. If you are eligible, you will receive the cash-out payment in your December 7 paycheck.

To participate, report the number of hours you wish to cash out by entering them in the Weekly Elapsed screen in the myUFL system. You must report the hours during the pay period of November 16 through November 29 using the “DLC – 280 December Vacation Leave” time reporting code on a day when you are not scheduled to work to prevent the myUFL system from blocking you by using the “exceeds 24 hours” exception.

Please note:

  • The pay period specified is the only pay period the DLC time reporting code can be used.
  • Employees should enter the time reporting code in Weekly Elapsed screen by November 29. Please verify with your department if an earlier deadline has been established internally. 

It is the department's responsibility to ensure that no more than 16 hours of vacation leave are cashed out and that 40 hours of vacation leave remain on balance after the end of the November 16-29 pay period.

Still have questions? An instruction guide is available to assist you in reporting the cash-out, or you may contact Central Leave Administration at 392-2477 or central-leave@ufl.edu.
