Disposition versions
85.3. Any employee who while a member of the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act (R.S.Q. 1964, c. 235) or while a teacher within the meaning of the Teachers Pension Plan ceased to participate in the pension plan by reason of marriage, maternity, pregnancy or delivery, or adoption if, in the latter case, the adoption was subsequently recognized for legal purposes by a judgment, may be credited, for pension purposes under this plan with all or part of the years of teaching prior to 1 January 1968 for which the employee obtained a reimbursement of contributions, if the marriage, maternity, pregnancy or delivery, or adoption occurred in the 12 months preceding or in the 24 months following the date on which the employee ceased to participate in the plan.
To be credited with such years and parts of a year, the employee must pay the sum of $1,000 per year. That amount must be increased by an amount equal to 1.65% of the employee’s basic pensionable salary, without taking the limit provided for in section 18.1 into account, computed on an annual basis, on the date of receipt of the employee’s application. If however, the employee held part-time employment on that date, the basic pensionable salary which must be used is the salary the employee would have received if the employee had held that employment full time.
Any pension credit that may have been granted in respect of any or several of those years or parts of a year, or, in the case of an employee who is a member of the Pension Plan of Management Personnel and to whom section 3.2 applies, in respect of any or several years or parts of a year credited under section 130 of the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Management Personnel (chapter R-12.1), is cancelled, and any sum paid to cover the cost thereof is reimbursed with interest, compounded annually, at the rates determined in Schedule VI until the date the application is received at Retraite Québec and at the rate determined in Schedule VII from the day following that date until the date the refund is paid.
The amount required for those years to be credited is payable either in a lump sum or by instalments spread over the period and payable at the times determined by Retraite Québec or, if provided for in the employee’s conditions of employment, by using all or part of the employee’s accumulated sick leave. In the latter case, the employer shall pay all or part of the amount according to the terms determined by Retraite Québec. If it is paid by instalments, it bears interest, compounded annually, at the rate provided for in Schedule VII in force on the date on which the application is received, computed from the date on which the redemption proposal made by Retraite Québec expires.
85.3. Any employee who while she was a member of the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act (R.S.Q. 1964, c. 235) or while she was a teacher within the meaning of the Teachers Pension Plan ceased to participate in her pension plan by reason of marriage, pregnancy or adoption if, in the latter case, the adoption was subsequently recognized for legal purposes by a judgment, may be credited, for pension purposes under this plan with all or part of her years of teaching prior to 1 January 1968 for which she obtained a reimbursement of contributions, if the marriage, pregnancy or adoption occurred in the 12 months preceding or in the 24 months following the date on which she ceased to participate in her plan.
