Pension questions

[Legitimyze]

If you work part time for lets say 10 years, then go to full time, then how is the pension determined. From the point you started full time or do they take in account the 10 part time years you put in?

And there are different pensions as far as union vs non-union right? What if you join the union after lets say those 10 years, when the time comes to retire, do they just add up all the years together and give one pension or is it separate company + union pension checks?

Are you part time management?

2 checks, one for full time and another for part time years. Both come from same address in Atlanta but from different accounts.

You are assuming the OP is in a company plan.

Some locals have it different.

True. But management should already know all of the answers shouldn't they?

In my local the part time pension comes from UPS and the full time pension comes from the Teamsters.
Two different checks from 2 different accounts

Our local pays both---part timers who went FT receive credit for their PT years toward a FT pension.

I am a part time package handler, with barley a month in. This may never even apply to me but I just needed some info to consider options for the future.

You have to work for at least 5 years to be eligible to receive a pension----that is called being vested.

Thats some some pretty terrible advice, I would like to have an idea of what my future might look like so I can act/plan on it now.

Okay, ask in five years.

If the plan doesn't change by then.

Thanks to the people who are being constructive, instead of posting comments that take the discussion no where.

Good for you. Start putting money in the 401K as soon as eligible.

Options? What options...as a PTer...you won't be vested in a pension for 5 years. Like IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U already said, come back and ask again in a few years!

 

[oldngray]

In 5 years a part timer will be vested enough pay gas and maybe beer money (if he/she drinks swill). Hardly worth talking about by itself.
