Short Term Leave – Leaves Less Than 31 Days
Contributions are mandatory for members and employers on any employer-approved leave that is 30 days or less in duration. If a member starts a short term leave (less than 31 days) but the leave subsequently exceeds 30 days, then the long term leave rules outlined below would apply, even if the member does not receive employment earnings for that leave period. Employers are required to report start and end dates for the leave.
Leaves Exceeding 30 Days
Members may contribute during any other employer-approved leave, regardless of the reason for the leave, as long as you approve the request to contribute. The maximum length of a leave is defined by you, not HOOPP – HOOPP does not set limits on the length of leaves. The ITA sets limits on the amount of pension service a member can build while they are away from work.
