38. An employee who did not pay contributions to the Civil Service Superannuation Plan, the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan or the Pension Plan of Certain Teachers before 1 January 1987 but who began to pay contributions to any of those plans or to the Pension Plan of Management Personnel after that date may, if an application is made within 12 months of the date on which the employee began to pay contributions to any of those plans, be credited with years and parts of a year of active service in the regular Canadian Forces or the forces levied by Canada in wartime within the meaning of the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter C-17), provided the employee is not receiving pension benefits under that Act. An employee who never paid contributions to any of those plans may purchase those years and parts of a year of active service by applying for such purchase within 12 months of the date on which the employee begins to pay contributions to this plan.
The amount required of the employee to pay the cost of redemption is determined in accordance with section 33. However, the pensionable salary is that received by the employee in the regular Canadian Forces during the years and parts of a year of service to be redeemed. This amount is payable in accordance with section 30.
