35.1.17. For the purposes of sections 33.3, 38 and the sections that refer to section 38, the contributory period of a teacher who during a year holds pensionable employment under the plan for which the basis of remuneration is 260 days is determined by dividing by 260 the number of contributory days comprised in the period during which the teacher participated in the plan or comprised in the period for which days and parts of a day were otherwise credited to the teacher with contributions for that year under the plan, except the days and parts of a day determined by regulation, during the pensionable salary reference period for the year established in accordance with section 35.1.13.
The contributory period of a teacher who during a year holds pensionable employment under the plan for which the basis of remuneration is 200 days is determined by dividing by 200 the number of contributory days under the school calendars included in the period during which the teacher participated in the plan during the two parts of a school year included in a calendar year or in the period for which days and parts of a day were otherwise credited to the teacher with contributions for that year, except the days and parts of a day determined by regulation.
The contributory period of a new teacher for the year during which the teacher becomes a member of the plan begins on the first day in respect of which the teacher contributed or was exempt from contributions and the last period ends on the last day credited in the year during which the teacher ceases to participate in the plan.
In the case of a teacher to whom section 35.1.8 applies, a contributory period that corresponds to the pensionable salary for the year for which no service is credited is also determined by dividing by 260 the number of contributory days referred to in the first paragraph that correspond to that salary.
