Florida Retirement System (FRS)

The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was established in 1970 as a consolidated statewide retirement system for Florida's public employees. Sarasota County makes contributions on behalf of all county employees into the FRS system as a percentage of reported compensation required by law to fund employees' retirement benefits. The FRS currently offers a defined benefit plan that provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to members and DROP participants. In addition, the FRS offers eligible employees both integrated and nonintegrated optional defined contribution plans.
