224.2. A judge must pay, as contributions to this plan, an amount corresponding to 7% of the judge’s annual salary. The contributions shall be reduced to 1% of the judge’s annual salary when the judge has accumulated 21.7 years of service and continues to hold office. The annual salary of a judge is the salary fixed by order under section 115. However, the additional remuneration paid to a chief judge, senior associate chief judge, associate chief judge, coordinating judge, associate coordinating judge or judge responsible for the professional development of judges of the Court and all other remuneration paid to a judge referred to in sections 131 to 134 shall be excluded from the salary.
Where a judge is granted leave without pay under section 122.0.1, the judge’s annual salary for the purposes of this section is the salary to which the judge would have been entitled pursuant to the order made under section 115 had the judge exercised the functions attached to the judge’s office during the year concerned. The annual salary of a judge who is a party to an agreement granting leave with deferred pay under section 122.0.1 is the salary received by the judge in each of the years covered by the agreement.
Any lump sum paid as a salary increase or adjustment for a preceding year is added to the salary for the year in which it is paid. However, if the lump sum is paid in a year for which no service is credited, it forms part of the salary for the last year for which service is credited prior to the year of payment.
The judge shall pay the contributions provided for by this section until the date on which the judge ceases to hold office, subject to the applicable fiscal rules.
