Weekend Workers
Weekend workers are those employees who work 30 hours per week but are paid for 37.5 hours. Contributions should be deducted from their full earnings as they are credited with 52 weeks of contributory service as if they were working a full 37.5 hours per week.
...
Let's take the example of a member who works 52 weeks a year, and is paid a total of $150,000:
$100,000 by a HOOPP employer, and $50,000 by a teaching facility.
...
In this example, the member’s contributory service for the year, measured in weeks, would be 100,000/150,000 × 52 weeks, or 34.67 weeks, assuming the member works for the entire year.
This situation only applies when there is a joint funding agreement.
