Wisconsin "public" employees (teachers, police, firefighters, game wardens, &c.) are covered by the Wisconsin Retirement System which allows a retiree to be rehired for full employment. The pension benefit is suspended during the new term of employment and additional information is collected to update maximum salary and length of employment duration statistics. The new factors are used to recalculate the pension to be started when the employee again retires. The ultimate pension number is based on the three highest salaried years and the total number of years employed.

PS I really don't see why anyone would do that 'cuz it doesn't eliminate the rule changes on your health insurance. Retiring now a person would get the single person coverage WEA plan, which is $#100 deductible and pretty much everything else medical covered.
I'm thinking a game is being played upon the "suspended part. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts someone figured out that by commencing the pension, then suspending it locks the then current rules into effect for the life of the pension. Dunno if that is illegal but if so, then there are conspiracy charges galore.
Don’t public employees retire on a regular basis and then get re-employed in another area of government - receiving both a pension and salary? There has got to be some advantage to retiring and returning to work for the same government employer or why would anyone do it?
