SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Onondaga County is offering eligible county employees a one-time payment of $10,000 to voluntarily leave the county’s workforce by Dec. 31.
Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney has announced the “voluntary” retirement incentive “in advance” of county lawmakers’ work on the 2017 budget, Onondaga County said in a news release issued Thursday.
To be eligible for this incentive, the employees must be “vested” members in the public-employment retirement system that New York State sponsors and eligible “under those rules” to receive retirement benefits.
