How would employee pensions be affected?

The Town of Rehoboth is a member of the Bristol County Retirement System (BCRS). Teachers and administrators fall under the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement System. These employees are fully covered by the State. This should be an accounting /clerical change only and revenue neutral.

Employees that are not certified, such as clerical and maintenance, would come under the auspices of BCRS. Rehoboth would be assuming the responsibility for these employees going forward. The Town’s yearly retirement assessment would need to be adjusted to accommodate these new employees. Once that is done, there should be no maintenance needed from the Town’s perspective.
