LSA Policy on retirement follows the Standard Practice Guide (http://spg.umich.edu/pdf/201.83.pdf). Employees wishing to discuss their retirement eligibility and financial situation with regard to retirement should contact the Benefits Office. Phased retirement agreements for staff in LSA must have approval of the LSA HR Office in addition to department head approval. As outlined in the SPG, any phased retirement plan must be requested by the staff member in writing at least one year prior to the start date. It must be approved by both the department head and LSA HR. Once a plan is established and implemented, it should remain in effect until complete retirement. Modifications to succeeding years can be made only with the approval of the department head and LSA HR.
