The City of Los Angeles Retirement Incentive Pay (RIP) is a program developed by the City and sworn labor unions to allow sworn employees who are retiring or entering DROP to include deferred salary increases as part of their pension benefit calculation or to apply toward their accrued leave (sick/vacation/overtime) payout at the time of retirement. 

To read about the details of the program, the CAO has created a website where you can find the FAQ and supporting documents. Please visit the site at:
