Full text
28.1. Every female teacher who was granted a maternity leave while she was a member of the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act (Revised Statutes of Québec, 1964, chapter 235) or while she was a teacher within the meaning of this Plan may be credited, without contributions and up to 90 contributory days, with the days of a maternity leave which was in progress on 1 July 1965 or which began after that date but ended before 1 July 1976, provided the 90-day period allows the teacher to complete 95% or more of the school year in which she was granted the maternity leave.
Every female teacher who was granted a maternity leave may be credited, without contributions and up to 120 contributory days, with the days of the maternity leave which was in progress on 1 July 1976 or which began after that date but ended before 1 July 1983.
To be credited with the days of the maternity leave, the teacher referred to in the first or second paragraph is required to have contributed to the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act, to the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or to this plan, as the case may be, during the 12 months preceding the beginning of the maternity leave and to have contributed again to this plan or to the Civil Service Superannuation Plan during the two years following the year in which the maternity leave ended even if, in the latter case, the teacher referred to in the first paragraph was not a teacher within the meaning of this plan at the time she again contributed.
Any contributions paid by the teacher to redeem the maternity leave pursuant to the provisions relating to the redemption of a period of absence without pay, are reimbursed without interest. However, if the redeemed period, in respect of a maternity leave which ended before 1 July 1976 exceeds 100 days, the maternity leave cannot be credited without contributions and the contributions paid by the teacher cannot be reimbursed. If the redeemed period, in respect of a maternity leave which was in progress on 1 July 1976, or which began after that date, exceeds the period credited pursuant to this section, the balance of the redeemed period remains credited to the account of the teacher even if it is less than 30 days.
