2022-06-08

115.1. Every employee who has held casual employment defined by regulation is entitled to be credited, for pension purposes under this plan, with the service performed in such capacity between 30 June 1973 and 1 January 1988 with an agency or body contemplated by the plan or with an agency or body which, in the opinion of Retraite Québec, would have been contemplated by the plan had it not ceased to exist. For the purposes of this paragraph, any period in which the employee is entitled to salary insurance benefits or in which an employee avails themself of a maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery under the provisions concerning parental leaves which form part of the employee's conditions of employment is counted as a period of service.

To be credited with all or part of that service, the employee is required to pay to Retraite Québec the amount determined under the tariff established by regulation on the basis of the pensionable salary, without taking the limit provided for in section 18.1 into account, at the time of receipt of the employee’s application according to the number of days and parts of a day to be redeemed out of the number of pensionable days, calculated on the basis of the annual remuneration. The tariff may vary according to the employee’s age, the year of service covered by the redemption and the date of receipt of the application. The regulation may prescribe the terms and conditions governing the application of the tariff. If the employee applies to have only part of that service credited, the most recent service is credited first.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the pensionable salary of an employee who, at the time of the receipt of their application for redemption, participates in the plan but does not hold pensionable employment is established by regulation. This rule also applies to the establishment of the pensionable salary of an employee who retires on the day following the day on which the employee ceases to participate in the plan and applies simultaneously for a pension and to be credited with a period referred to in this section.

Any pension credit that may have been granted in respect of such service, or, in the case of an employee who is a member of the Pension Plan of Management Personnel, if section 3.2 applies to that employee, in respect of the service credited under section 146 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 for redemption is received and at the rate determined in Schedule VII from the day following that date until the date the refund is paid.

A regulation enacted under this section may have effect 12 months or less before its adoption.
