Full-time and permanent part-time community college faculty and staff are members of the Teachers’ Retirement System of Alabama (TRS). Personnel should familiarize themselves with the TRS by reviewing the TRS homepage of the Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) website as well as the appropriate member handbook posted on the RSA website. Adjunct faculty who are already enrolled in TRS must notify the Payroll Clerk upon employment with the College.
Federal taxes are calculated on employee earnings after retirement contributions to TRS. Retirement benefits are taxable at the time of withdrawal.
