221.1. Notwithstanding section 85.1, every employee who was granted a maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or deliver may be credited, without contributions, with the days of such leave in progress on 1 July 1973 or having begun after that date but having ended before 1 July 1976, up to a total of 90 contributory days.
An employee may be credited, without contribution, with the days and parts of a day of a maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or deliver in progress on 1 July 1983 or beginning on or before 31 December 1988, up to a total of 130 contributory days.
To be credited with the days of such leave, the employee referred to in the first paragraph is required to have contributed to the Teachers Pension Plan, the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or this plan, as the case may be, in the 12 months preceding the beginning of the leave, and to have again contributed to the Teachers Pension Plan, the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or this plan within two years following the year in which the leave ended.
For the purposes of the third paragraph, an employee who, in respect of a period of service immediately preceding the date on which the employee began to participate in this plan, contributed to a supplementary pension plan or redeemed the entire period of service in the form of a pension credit is deemed to have contributed to this plan in the 12 months preceding the date of the beginning of the maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or deliver. In such a case, the employee may be credited with the days of the leave during which the employee was covered by this plan and the days of the leave during which the employee was not covered by this plan may be added, solely for purposes of entitlement to a pension, to the years of service credited to the employee, if those days have not otherwise been counted or credited.
Any sums paid by the employee referred to in the first paragraph to redeem the maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or deliver pursuant to the provisions relating to the redemption of a period of absence without pay are reimbursed without interest if the period of absence without pay was redeemed while the Teachers Pension Plan or the Civil Service Superannuation Plan was applicable to the employee, or with interest if the period of absence without pay was redeemed while this plan was applicable to the employee. In this last case, the interest is 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.
