RE: PFRS CREDITABLE SALARY RULE PROPOSAL ON SENIOR OFFICERS’ PAY

At the February Delegates meeting, State PBA President Michael Madonna and Executive Vice-President Anthony Wieners directed us to prepare a sample letter for Local PBAs. Attached is a sample letter you may use to submit comments to the PFRS concerning the proposed rule on Senior Officers’ pay. You should send the letter on your local PBA’s letterhead. The comments in this sample letter reflect the comments which the State PBA is submitting to PFRS concerning the rule. You may review the PFRS rule proposal which is posted on the State PBA website.

If you have any questions, you should address them to the State PBA or to your Local PBA attorney. You should also feel free to add specific comments about how the proposed rule would affect your members based on provisions in your contracts. The rule amendment now only would protect Senior Officers’ pay in effect prior to the 20th year of service. The State PBA is seeking a revision would protect Senior Officers’ pay through the 23rd year of service.
