Glamser questions

What I am wondering is how he can retire and still receive settlement pay? Rules of Pers retirement will not allow one to receive payment from former state job in excess of 1/2 pay.

Has anyone thought that perhaps it's just a typo?

Yes, that's why I began by saying "waiting to see" -- but you'd think that particular name would have been spotted immediately if a mistake. ????

I AM NOT A LAWYER, but I think that's what the clause in the settlement about "converting from employee to consultant" was about. Either prof could retire or move to another institution & continue to get paid as a "consultant." At least, that's how I read it.

Again, I am NOT a lawyer.

I think Invictus is correct. I recall that when Horace Fleming stepped down, he was retained as a consultant, even though he was living in Bethesda, Md. at the time. It seems this is how the state gets around the issue of severence pay.
