Section 126 Disposition versions

2022-06-08

126. An employee who was granted maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery while the employee was a member of the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act (R.S.Q. 1964, c. 235) or while the employee was a teacher within the meaning of the Teachers Pension Plan may be credited, without contributions and up to 90 contributory days, for pension purposes under this plan, with the days of a such leave that was in progress on 1 July 1965 or that began after that date but ended before 1 July 1976, provided the 90-day period allows the employee to complete 95% or more of the school year in which the employee was granted the leave.

An employee who was granted maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery may be credited, without contributions and up to 120 contributory days, for pension purposes under this plan, with the days of such leave that was in progress on 1 July 1976 or that began after that date but ended before 1 July 1983.

The employee referred to in the first or second paragraph must, to be credited with days of such leave, have contributed to the pension fund of officers of education established by Part VIII of the Education Act, the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan, the Teachers Pension Plan or the Civil Service Superannuation Plan, as the case may be, during the 12 months preceding the beginning of the leave, and have again contributed to the Teachers Pension Plan, the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan or the Civil Service Superannuation Plan during the two years following the year in which the leave ended even if, in the last two cases, the employee referred to in the first paragraph was not a teacher within the meaning of the Teachers Pension Plan at the time the employee again contributed.

The sums paid by the employee to redeem days of maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery pursuant to the provisions relating to the redemption of absence without pay are refunded without interest if they were redeemed while the employee was a member of the Teachers Pension Plan or the Civil Service Superannuation Plan and the sums paid by the employee are refunded 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. However, if the period redeemed in respect of maternity leave or personal leave in connection with pregnancy or delivery which ended before 1 July 1976 exceeds 100 days, the days of the leave cannot be credited without contributions, and the contributions or, as the case may be, the sums paid by the employee cannot be refunded. If the period redeemed in respect of such leave that was in progress on 1 July 1976 or that 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 employee even if it is less than 30 days.
