This position is a Local 3101 covered position and therefore is bound by the terms and conditions contained in the current collective bargaining agreement, which can be found here.

FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM (FRS) The Florida Retirement System is a retirement plan designed to provide an income to a vested employee and his/her family when the employee retires, becomes partially or totally disabled, or dies prior to retirement. A defined benefit or defined contribution option may be chosen by the employee. Employees are required to contribute 3% of their salary per Florida Statute. Firefighters employed by the Nassau County BOCC will automatically be enrolled in the Special Risk Class with the FRS. In creating this class, the Legislature recognized that Special Risk Class positions are physically demanding and require extraordinary agility and mental acuity. The Legislature has recognized that, due to the physical and mental limitations of age, Special Risk Class members should be eligible to retire earlier than regular members. To that end, the Legislature enacted an earlier retirement age requirement for these members and credited their service at a higher rate than regular members earn so they could retire with benefits roughly equivalent to benefits of regular members who could be expected to work longer. EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM It is the policy of the County to make available to employees the opportunity for training, development, and advancement consistent with the individual's ability, performance, budgetary limitations, and requirements of the County.
