5.3 If Some or All Contributions Are Not Made

A member who has chosen to contribute during a leave (or who you are allowing to contribute) must make the contributions no later than six months after the end of the leave. If this deadline is missed, contributions can no longer be made for this leave period and you, as the employer, are relieved from the responsibility of contributing. The member may, however, be eligible to purchase the service through HOOPP’s past service provisions if the timeline for making leave contributions has expired. If a member makes only some of the required contributions by the six month deadline, your organization only has to make contributions that correspond to those made by the member.
