It is the policy of the county to comply with UCA § 49-11-505 (1953, as amended), regarding the re-employment of retirees. Furthermore, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations require that there be a bona fide separation period before a retiree returns to work. Additionally, it is a violation of IRS regulations to have a “deal” of re-employment arranged prior to retirement. Therefore, an exemplary employee who is otherwise qualified to retire under the state’s retirement system (URS) may retire and, at the sole discretion of the county, become re-employed in a full- or part-time capacity for any open position which he or she may be qualified for after six months have passed from the retirement date without post-retirement restrictions under the above statutory section.
