COMPENSATION

4.03 PENSION

AUTHORITY: THE CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION ACT

Sub- Section 4.03 Pension Date 05 December 2002 Page 1 of 7 1. INTRODUCTION

1.01 The Civil Service Superannuation Act (CSSA) provides post-retirement pension benefits to employees of the Province of PEI and other

participating employers.

1.02 The Provincial Treasurer is the minister responsible for the CSSA. The Minister has delegated the responsibility of the day to day administration of the CSSA to the Employee Benefits Section of the Public Service Commission.

1.03 The CSSA provides for the establishment of the Civil Service

Superannuation Fund (CSSF) into which all contributions are to be made and out of which all pension benefits are to be paid.

2. APPLICATION

2.01 A person is a member under the CSSA where he/she works a minimum of 600 hours per year and meets one of the following criteria:

(a) Probationary, Provisional, and Permanent Civil Servants (b) CSC appointee after 2 years

(c) Executive Division employees (d) Employees of Crown Corporations

(e) Employees of approved Participating Employers (f) Plan members receiving Long Term Disability

(g) Contract employees (if participation is provided for in the contract)

3. PRINCIPLES

3.01 The CSSA provides for a pension benefit equal to 2% of a member’s salary ( average of the three years of highest salary ) for each year of pensionable service. The 2% benefit is comprised of :

- Life-time Benefit 1.3 % (*) - Temporary Bridge Benefit 0.7 %

2.0 %

* The life-time benefit is the full 2% for that portion of pensionable

earnings in excess of the YMPE. (Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings) as set out by the Canada Pension Plan.

Sub- Section 4.03 Pension Date 05 December 2002 Page 2 of 7

with those paid by the Canada Pension Plan. Initially, the two plans were integrated so that the total normal pension benefits provided by both Plans would be equivalent to the total pension benefit provided prior to the introduction of the CPP.

3.03 The CSSF provides a temporary Bridge Benefit which is paid from date of retirement until age 65, the date at which a person is eligible for an

unreduced CPP pension. The Life-time Benefit plus the Bridge Benefit will be roughly equal to the Life-Time Benefit plus the unreduced CPP Benefit that you can draw at age 65.

3.04 All members are required to make contributions to the CSSF and member contributions are matched by the employer. The required contribution rate is set out in section 7 of the CSSA.
