CHAPTER I SABBATICAL WITH DEFERRED SALARY

O.C. 1863-83, chap. I; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

DIVISION I AGREEMENT BECOMING NULL

O.C. 1863-83, div. I; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

1. Where an agreement relative to a sabbatical with deferred salary between a person and his employer becomes null, the pensionable salary, credited service and contributions in respect of the years or parts of a year for which the person had agreed to receive only part of his salary shall be determined, for the purposes of the retirement plan to which he contributes, as follows:

(1)  the pensionable salary shall be the salary paid to the person;

(2)  part of the year of service shall be credited in the proportion that the salary paid to the person bears to the salary that would have been paid to him if he had not agreed to receive only part of it;

(3)  the contributions recognized shall be the contributions made by the person and any contributions from which he was exempt.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 1; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

2. Where an agreement relative to a sabbatical with deferred salary between a person and his employer becomes null, the pensionable salary, credited service and contributions in respect of a year of leave or part of a year of leave shall be determined, for the purposes of the retirement plan to which he contributes, as follows:

(1)  the salary paid to the person shall be deemed to be non-pensionable salary;

(2)  no year of service or part of a year of service shall be credited;

(3)  subject to section 4, the contributions paid by the person shall be deemed to be overpayments within the meaning of the retirement plan to which he contributes.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 2; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

3. Where the person was not granted a year of leave or part of a year of leave, the employer shall withhold from the reimbursement of the salary that the person had agreed to defer the contributions required to credit a year of service or any part of a year of service for each year or part of a year during which he received only part of his salary. The pensionable salary for each of such years or any part of such year shall be the salary that would have been paid to him if he had not agreed to receive only part of it.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 3; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

4. Where the person was granted a year of leave or part of a year of leave, the contributions paid by the person during such year or part of such year shall be used to complete the contributions required to credit a year of service or part of a year of service for each other year or part of a year during which the person received only part of his salary. The pensionable salary for each of such years or any part of such year shall be the salary which would have been paid to him if he had not agreed to receive only part of it.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 4; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

5. Notwithstanding sections 3 and 4, in the case of the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan, the exemption of 35% of the maximum pensionable earnings within the meaning of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) shall be calculated on the proportion that the salary the person had agreed to defer bears to the salary that would have been paid to him if he had not agreed to receive only part of it.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 5; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

6. In the case provided in section 4, where the contributions paid by the person during the year of leave or part of a year of leave are less than the contributions required under the retirement plan to which he contributes in order to credit a year of service or part of a year of service for each year or part of a year during which he received only part of his salary, the difference may be paid by the person.

Failing payment of such difference, the service and the pensionable salary for the year during which the agreement becomes null or, as the case may be, the previous year for which the person received only part of his salary shall be calculated in proportion to the contributions received by Retraite Québec.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 6; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.

7. In the case provided in section 4, where the contributions paid by the person during the year of leave are more than the contributions required under the retirement plan to which he contributes in order to credit a year of service or part of a year of service for each year or part of a year during which he received only part of his salary, the difference shall be refunded as overpayments in the manner prescribed by that retirement plan.

The person may redeem the year of leave or part of a year of leave in accordance with the provisions of the retirement plan to which he contributes respecting the redemption of a leave without salary.

O.C. 1863-83, s. 7; O.C. 1773-86, s. 1.
