According to Eric Yoder‘s report, participating employees would receive a prorated partial salary and annuity, based on the amount of time work.
They will also spend a fifth of their working time mentoring younger employees, the report says.

Workers whose occupations are subject to mandatory retirement will be excluded, including many in law enforcement, air traffic control and firefighting.
