      237.620

NOTES OF DECISIONS

      PERB was clearly within delegated authority in determining that no plan can be equal to or better than PERS unless it provides basic amounts of benefits in each of four major categories equivalent to 50 percent of that which would be provided under PERS.

      In determining whether public employer’s pension plan for police and firefighters provides benefits “equal to or better than” PERS plan benefits, board must use formula that considers both employee contributions and benefits. Salem Firefighters Local 314 v. PERB, 300 Or 663, 717 P2d 126 (1986)

      Advantage of retirement plans is to be compared from standpoint of benefits to employees, not cost to employers. Springfield Firefighters’ Assoc. v. PERB, 93 Or App 134, 760 P2d 1372 (1988), Sup Ct review denied
