Correctional officers gain access with retirement limits

Correctional officers working for North Dakota government units can join the public safety retirement plan. Correctional facility workers also qualify while enrolled in an unfinished officer course approved or certified by the state corrections department. Those starting employment on or after the law’s effective date must work at least 32 hours weekly and 20 weeks yearly. Participating members starting employment on or after that date cannot also participate in another retirement plan run by North Dakota’s Public Employees Retirement System.

State officers pay 6% toward retirement

North Dakota state correctional and peace officers who belong to the Public Employees Retirement System must contribute 6% of monthly salary. This requirement excludes peace officers employed by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Their state employer must also contribute the amount the retirement board calculates is needed to fund the applicable benefits.
