2. What is a “suitable and comparable job”?
A “suitable and comparable job” is defined by a Memorandum of Understanding between the State and the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition (SEBAC).
The Memorandum defines “suitable and comparable job” as “a job paying a rate that is substantially equivalent to the salary range of the position the individual held at the time the individual’s disability occurred and which is of a similar type to the job performed or work for which s/he is qualified in keeping with the individual’s prior work experience, education, or training received by the retiree while in state employment.”
