I do not understand why they can't? At the end of the day the position is going to be filled by someone and the municipality will be paying the pensions to someone and more than likely if they are younger they will accrued even more pension credits than an older experienced person. At the end of the day it is a win win situation, the municipality has an extremely experienced employee that probably will cost the pension fund less dollars in the long run and the employee is certainly not at fault for capitalizing on they system, he has done nothing wrong.
