Members must make required contributions on any employer-approved leaves that are less than 31 days in duration.
...
If a member elects to not make contributions on an employer-approved or statutory leave, they may still be able purchase the service at a later date by completing a buyback. A buyback will increase the member’s contributory service and eligibility service in the Plan, increasing their overall pension at retirement. However, the cost of the buyback will increase as a member’s age, earnings, and years in the Plan increase. Members should contact Member Services for more information or to request a buyback quote.
