Taking Leave with Pay to Attend an In-Person Seminar
Each eligible employee is entitled to receive leave with pay to attend up to three retirement planning programs. According to state law, "...leave with pay shall mean a day off paid by the employer and shall not mean vacation, sick, personal, or compensatory time." You may choose to attend a seminar more than three times, but such leave will be at your expense and at the discretion of the employer. Consult with your employer regarding leave granted prior to seminar attendance. In-person seminars are subject to cancellation or a reduction in the number of participants at any time due to local health measures. Consider attending a Webinar for a more secure scheduling option.
Cancellations of In-Person Seminars
In the event a session is cancelled, NPERS will attempt to contact participants. Limited time frames associated with weather cancellations may make it difficult to contact every participant in advance. In the event of a weather cancellation, NPERS will place a notice on the home page of the NPERS website as soon as possible and members may contact our office to confirm seminar status. Cancellation of a seminar does require the employee to report to their workstation or make other arrangements with their employer (use vacation time) concerning their absence. If NPERS reschedules a cancelled seminar, each registrant will be contacted concerning the new date and given the option of attending or receiving a refund. If a seminar is cancelled and not rescheduled, you will receive a refund of your registration fee.
Unable to Attend?
If you were unable to attend a seminar program -we've got you covered! We recorded our October 2024 webinar session, hosted via Webex, and you can watch it anytime for that seminar-at-home experience.
