(In other words If I have 140 days in my CAR and I want to cash them out I would get $42,000 before taxes?) Also, it seems that taking terminal leave is "worth" more because it is based on your actual salary and not the arbitrary $300.00 per day rate. Is that true? What percentage of teachers take terminal leave vs cashing out CAR days? ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-61452281561479965362019-11-06T07:02:45.603-05:002019-11-06T07:02:45.603-05:00Thank you and Ed notesThank you and Ed notesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-467123702175389452019-11-05T12:02:22.608-05:002019-11-05T12:02:22.608-05:00I had 140 days in my CAR and took the money which ...I had 140 days in my CAR and took the money which was paid in two or three installments -- it came to around 25k and after taxes didn't seem great considering 35 years. Now it comes to 42K which shows at least some income growth over 18 years. <br />Rather than use the 140 days piecemeal which can be distruptive in terms of your job look into terminal leave where you get paid for 70 days I think and also get some bit of pension added. But if you do this in a time frame that covers part of a summer consider summer pay and also pension issues. IE, if you retire July 1 you collect full summer pay plus full summer pension - double dipping and a nice amount of money. If you do it that way just take toe 2 for one - I think that is the max money you get out of the system.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-36896419055366324372019-11-05T06:46:00.791-05:002019-11-05T06:46:00.791-05:00
