Full text
85.5.1. This division applies to every employee, except a seasonal or casual employee, who has not already availed themself of it and who, within the scope of an agreement with their employer, agrees to a reduction of their working time for a period of one to five years, providing the employee retires at the end of that period. However, the employee's working time may not be less than 40% of the regular service of a full-time employee in such employment.
Before the employee may avail themself of this division, the employee shall ascertain from Retraite Québec that the employee is likely to be eligible for a pension on the date proposed for the end of the agreement. For this purpose, Retraite Québec shall estimate the years or parts of a year of service credited to the employee at the end of the agreement. Any change to the date fixed for the beginning or the end of the agreement must be accepted by Retraite Québec before being made.
However, if at the end of the agreement the number of years or parts of a year of service credited to the employee is less than the number estimated by Retraite Québec, or if at the end of the agreement the employee is not eligible for their pension, or if the agreement is suspended due to circumstances determined by regulation, the agreement is extended, even where this causes the period to exceed five years, until the date on which the number of years or parts of a year of service credited to the employee is equal to the estimate made by Retraite Québec in the first case and, in the other cases, until the date on which the employee becomes eligible for their pension.
A person who has availed themself of Division IV of Chapter V of the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Management Personnel (chapter R-12.1) is deemed to have previously availed themself of this division, and the agreement entered into with the person’s employer shall continue to apply as if it had been entered into under this division.
