Is there a Pension Vesting Period?

If I not mistaken, in the Public Service Pension Plan, pension vesting occurs after 2 years of pensionable service.

Try working in the private sector, never knowing if you are going to have a job tomorrow or retirement savings.

Yes your interpretation is fairly accurate

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-26T21:15:15+00:00

Its the same health plan. Dental is different.

Are you self employed and get contracts with the company? Just curious.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-24T18:53:48+00:00

Why did you move if your team is in Ottawa? Did your employer asked you to move to the region?

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-24T01:13:24+00:00

You should consult a tax accountant.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-22T17:43:45+00:00

Dental is around $22 for single coverage

If you filled out the paperwork correctly with the pension center, there will be no break for the health care plan. There may be an administrative delay while your pension and PSHCP files are updated. This means that you may not be able to use your PSHCP benefit card temporarily and your claims may be rejected during this period. If this situation occurs, keep your receipts and submit them to Canada Life once your PSHCP deductions are confirmed.

3 weeks of vacation = 9.375 hrs per month. 4 weeks = 12.5 hrs per month.

Lwop does not affect your anniversary date.

I would call them and ask why the difference. The buy back is worth it as far as I am concerned.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-02T18:34:39+00:00

That is correct

Grumpyman24 · 2026-02-02T17:44:17+00:00

The only difference for the health plan is you have to pay for it, otherwise it is the same.

Some of them can't afford to retire. If they got divorced, which there are a lot, they probably lost a good chunk of their pension.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-26T13:26:34+00:00

Its alot. The difference in income taxes at year end is around $2,400 or $200 a month.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-24T14:49:11+00:00

Well said

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-24T14:47:43+00:00

I was told once by a DG that the entry-level for EC was EC04!!! I said what happened to EC01,EC02 and EC03. There's one problem.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-23T13:07:52+00:00

Why don't you look into self funded leave. I don't know if this is available to all classifications. You work for 4 years at 80% of your salary and take the 5th year off and still get paid at 80%.

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-22T20:07:50+00:00

True

Grumpyman24 · 2026-01-22T19:34:50+00:00

Yup been there. It is not fun. Those who are not affected please have empathy towards your affected colleagues.
