Question

Hello,

My name is Steven Kulick and I have a question regarding the state of Virginia Requiring me to pay into my own retirement when I was hired 10 years ago and was not hired under those terms. We just recently were granted a 5% pay increase and they took every ones increase and forced us to pay into the retirement system. I NEVER SIGNED A WAIVER, AN AGREEMENT NOR VERBALY AGREED TO THIS FORCED POLICY. I was not hired under this agreement nor was I informed of it until this took place. is this legal on behalf of the state and all of its employees, or should this only affected the new hires?



Answer

Yes, it's unlikely(in my opinion) that the Commonwealth would take such sweeping action affecting compensation and benefits in regard to all of its current employees were such action at odds with current law governing such matters, but you might want to take up this issue with your state employees union representative to make sure such in fact is the case.
