New employees receive a hybrid­ pension plan, consisting of both a 401 (k) and a pension plan. It is funded by contributions from both the State of Tennessee and the employee.
 

Defined Benefit Plan

The Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) is the State's defined benefit pension plan. Employees who reach 5 years of service become vested, or eligible, to receive pension benefits upon retirement.
