Employee/Employer Contributions (EEC)
h3
<ul>
<li>The employee and the employer each contribute to PERS. The contribution made by you is on an after-tax basis. The employee contribution to PERS under this plan is 19.25% and the employer contribution is 19.25%.

<li>For Police/Fire Members, the employee/employer contribution is 30% each.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If you terminate during the first five years of your employment and you take a refund of employee contributions, upon termination, it will close your account with PERS and result in no future entitlement to a PERS benefit.</li>
<li>You may switch to Employer Paid Contribution (EPC) at any time, but you may only make this election once.</li>
<li>Employee contributions remaining in your PERS account at your retirement will result in your part of your income being non-taxable.</li>
