HUMAN RESOURCES
Upcoming Retirement of Sylvia Coburn Sylvia Coburn is retiring on January 15, 2016, with 18 years of Texas A&M University service in Human Resources. Sylvia currently serves as administrator for the online PATH system and was instrumental in the transition to online employment services in 2002. A reception to celebrate Sylvia’s retirement will be held on Thursday, January 14, 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the General Services Complex 101B, with remarks at 3:30 pm. Please join us at the reception to congratulate Sylvia on her dedicated service and to wish her well in her future endeavors.
Please forward the following two (2) messages to employees within your unit/area.
Have you received your TRS annual statement and the 2014-2015 salary appears wrong? TRS explains how a recent TRS rule change may impact the amount of compensation that is reported on your statement. The rule change requires employers to report compensation on the month in which it is paid instead of the month in which it is earned. If 2014-2015 will be one of the salaries used for your retirement calculation average, TRS will attribute the missing month when processing benefit calculations. However, your annual statement and information displayed in your MyTRS will not be updated to reflect that month of salary. Read the full article in the December 2015 TRS News, (http://www.trs.state.tx.us/about/documents/trs_newsletter.pdf), TRS annual statements mailed to active members (page 5). If you have any questions regarding your TRS account, contact TRS directly at (800) 223-8778.
