The employee referred to in the first paragraph must, in order to be credited with such leave, have contributed to the Teachers Pension Plan, the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan, as the case may be, in the 12 months preceding the beginning of the maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery, and have again contributed to the Teachers Pension Plan, the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or the Government and Public Employees Retirement 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 became a member of the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan, contributed to a supplementary pension plan or redeemed the entire period of service in the form of a pension credit under the Act respecting the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan (chapter R-10) is deemed to have contributed to this plan in the 12 months preceding the date on which the employee’s maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery began. In such a case, the employee may be credited with the days of the leave during which the employee was a member of the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan and the days of the leave during which the employee was not a member of that plan may be added, solely for purposes of eligibility for a pension, to the years of service credited, if those days have not otherwise been counted or credited.

Any sums paid by the employee referred to in the first paragraph to redeem days of maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery pursuant to the provisions relating to the redemption of days of absence without pay are reimbursed without interest if they were redeemed while the employee was a member of the Teachers Pension Plan or the Civil Service Superannuation Plan, or with interest if they were redeemed while the employee was a member of the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan. In this last case, interest is compounded annually at the rates determined in Schedule VII until the date the application is received at Retraite Québec and at the rate determined in Schedule VIII from the day following that date until the date the refund is paid.
