224.2. A judge must pay, as contributions to this plan, an amount corresponding to a percentage of the judge’s annual salary. That percentage is established by government regulation and may vary according to the conditions prescribed in the regulation. The annual salary of a judge is the salary fixed by order under section 115, 175 or 199, as the case may be. However, the additional remuneration paid to a chief judge, senior associate chief judge, associate chief judge, coordinating judge, associate coordinating judge, judge responsible for the professional development of judges of the Court or justice responsible for presiding justices of the peace 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 or 175, 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, 175 or 199, as the case may be, had the judge exercised the functions attached to the judge’s office during the year concerned. The annual salary of a judge who is granted leave with deferred pay under section 122.0.1 or 175 is the salary received by the judge in each of the years the judge was on leave.
A judge must also pay the contributions provided for in the first paragraph on any lump sum received as a salary increase or adjustment for a preceding year. The same rule applies to a judge who has ceased to hold office.
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.
