No restriction on hours, only on the type of job you can take.
You cannot take a job in an industry that competes with your former employer or with another union company. Basically, that means no trucking or delivery jobs.
Prior to retirement you can fill out an application with the pension trust and they will verify whether or not you can take a certain job.
Sober, this is from the Western Conference or Teamsters Pension Trust website.
Applicable Hours Limits
Under your Plan’s
suspension of benefits rule, your pension benefits will be suspended if your hours of work in suspendible employment exceed certain hours limits. You will lose the right to receive your retirement benefit payment for any calendar month if the hours of suspendible employment you work (or are paid for)
equal or
exceed your applicable
hours limit for that month. Your Plan counts hours that you actually work as well as hours for which you are paid (such as vacation, jury duty, sick leave or other paid hours). See below for the applicable
hours limits rules.
If you are paid on a basis other than hours worked, such as mileage, your hours of suspendible employment are determined using the same formula that determines the number of hours for which your employer is required to make contributions to the Pension Trust. Contact your Area Administrative Office if you have questions regarding how the mileage rules apply.
A special rule applies if the Plan cannot determine how many hours of suspendible employment you actually worked in a month. Under that rule, the Plan considers that you worked in suspendible employment in excess of your hours
limit for that month if:
- You receive pay for eight or more days (or separate work shifts) in that month, or
- You receive pay for eight or more days (or separate work shifts) in any four-week or five-week payroll period ending within that month.
