New professional staff members who are appointed to work less than 75% FTE are required to enroll in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS).

OPERS offers staff members the option to select one of three plans. The plans are (1) the OPERS Traditional Pension Plan where retirement, disability, and survivor benefits are determined by formulas using the retiree's age, service credit, and final average salary, (2) the OPERS Member-Directed Plan where retirement benefits are determined by the amount of money, including investment earnings, which the employee accumulates in an annuity account, and (3) the OPERS Combined Plan which has some elements of the other two OPERS plans. The current employee contribution to any of the three OPERS plans of 10.0% of pay is deducted on a pre-tax basis from the employee's earnings and is deposited in the employee's personal account at OPERS. The current amount of the 14.00% of earnings employer contribution which is deposited in the employee's OPERS account depends on which OPERS plan the employee elects.
