3 INTRODUCTION The Lakehead University Employee Pension Plan (the Plan ) began on September 1, The purpose of the Plan is to provide members with retirement income from their date of retirement to their date of death. This booklet describes the provisions of the Plan in relatively simple terms. The legal document, which defines the Plan provisions in detail, uses much more complex and technical language. If there is a dispute based on a difference between the wording of this booklet and that of the legal document, the legal document will govern. Throughout this booklet a number of terms have specific meanings. These terms are the words that begin with a Capital letter and are in Bold. All such terms are defined in detail at the end of this booklet in the Glossary of Terms. Most of the terms are also explained the first time they are used in the booklet. For assistance with anything related to the Lakehead University Employee Pension Plan, contact Pension Services, at (807)
4 ELIGIBILITY If you are employed on a full time basis and classified as a member of the Technical & Support Staff Group, you will join the Plan on your date of hire. If you are employed on a part time basis and classified as a member of the Technical & Support Staff Group, you may join the Plan following: a) 24 months of continuous employment in which you have earned at least 35% of the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings; or b) 700 hours of employment in each of 2 consecutive calendar years immediately prior to the year in which you apply for membership in the Plan. You are classified a member of the Technical & Support Staff Group if you are designated: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) Schedule II, Levels 109 and below; Technical Staff A & B COPE USWA CAW IUOE Contract (other eligibility criteria may apply); or Part time. 4
5 CONTRIBUTIONS MEMBER REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS Your required contributions are a percentage of your Normal Salary less your contributions to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). Your required contributions will be deducted automatically from your Normal Salary by the University. Normal Salary means your basic rate of compensation, as determined by the University for the purpose of the Plan, excluding overtime payments and expense allowances. The percentage of your required contribution will depend on your designation within the Technical & Support Staff Group. For example, as at January 1, 2011 the contribution rate for all groups excluding contract and part time members is 7.9%. The contribution rate for contract and part time members is 7.15%. Your contribution to CPP in 2011 is 4.95% of your salary between the Year s Basic Excemption (YBE) and the Year s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE). The CPP contribution rate remains at 4.95% for the foreseeable future. YBE is the amount below which no contributions to the CPP can be made. The YBE has been frozen since 1998 at $3,500. YMPE is the amount set each year under the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The YMPE amount is $48,300 in 2011 and will increase in the future at the same rate as average wages in Canada. UNIVERSITY CONTRIBUTIONS The University shall contribute an amount equal to your required contributions. 5
6 ADDITIONAL VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS You may elect to make additional contributions to the Plan in order to provide additional benefits. These additional contributions will be deducted by the University from your Normal Salary. MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS To ensure that you do not exceed current tax sheltered contribution limits, the total of your Member Required Contributions, University Contributions and Additional Voluntary Contributions cannot exceed the lesser of: a) 18% of your Normal Salary; or b) the money purchase limit for the year. The money purchase limit is defined by the Income Tax Act and is reviewed annually. The money purchase limit for 2011 is $22,970. Your membership in the Plan will affect the amount of money you can contribute to a personal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) each year. After you file your income tax return each year, your RRSP contribution room will be reported to you on the Notice of Tax Assessment you receive from the Canada Revenue Agency. TRANSFER CREDITS You may transfer lump sum amounts into this Plan from the registered pension plan or deferred profit sharing plan of a previous employer, if your previous employer s plan permits such a transfer. 6
7 CONTRIBUTIONS REGARDING PERIODS OF ABSENCE If you are not in receipt of a Normal Salary while absent due to maternity or parental leave, or while absent due to personal injury and/or illness arising out of or in the course of employment with the University, as defined in the Ontario Workers Compensation Act, you may elect to remit Member Required Contributions on the basis of your Normal Salary immediately prior to the commencement of your absence. In this case, the University will make matching contributions. If you are taking a leave of absence without pay approved by the University, other than those described directly above, and provided you have at least 3 years of continuous employment with the University, you may elect, for a period not to exceed 2 years, to: a) remit Member Required Contributions on the basis of your Normal Salary had you not been on leave of absence; or b) remit contributions equal to twice the Member Required Contribution on the basis of your Normal Salary had you not been on leave of absence. In the event of either election, the University will not make any contributions. 7
8 INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT An account shall be established for you that consists of: a) Member Required Contributions; b) University Contributions; c) Additional Voluntary Contributions, if any; and d) Transfer Credits, if any. This account, together with net investment earnings credited at the rate earned by the Fund, is referred to as your Individual Account. Net investment earnings includes both realized and unrealized gain and losses, less management fees and administration expenses and will be credited to your Individual Account on an annual basis. The Fund is the trust fund to which all contributions are made and from which benefits are paid. It is invested in accordance with the Ontario Pension Benefits Act and regulations under the Income Tax Act. SHORT TERM ACCOUNT You will have the ability to transfer a portion of your total entitlement, after age 55, into a Short Term Account consisting of very conservative investments chosen specifically to preserve capital. Your future contributions will continue to be deposited into the main Fund. This option was designed specifically to allow Members to change the asset mix of their own holdings in preparation for retirement, without affecting the potential investment returns of other Members. 8
9 RETIREMENT DATES NORMAL RETIREMENT Your Normal Retirement Date is the June 30 th or December 31 st coincident with or next following your 65 th birthday. EARLY RETIREMENT You may retire on the first of any month coincident with or following your 55 th birthday. LATE RETIREMENT You may elect to retire later than your Normal Retirement Date, but no later than the end of the calendar year of your 71 st birthday. If you elect late retirement contributions will continue until your actual date of retirement. 9
10 RETIREMENT BENEFITS On retirement you will be entitled to the retirement income that can be provided by the value of your Individual Account. PENSION OPTION You may use your Individual Account to purchase an Annuity from an insurance company. An Annuity is a plan purchased from an insurance company which pays an income to you for as long as you may live. On your death, depending on the type of Annuity you purchase, the income may cease, continue for the lifetime of your Spouse if living, or be paid to your beneficiary for a guaranteed period of time. TRANSFER OPTION As an alternative to an Annuity from an insurance company, you may elect to transfer the value of your Individual Account to a: Locked In Retirement Account (LIRA), if the transfer is made prior to the end of the year you turn age 71; or Life Income Fund (LIF). It is recommended that you contact your personal financial advisor to provide full details of the features of a Locked In Retirement Account (LIRA) and Life Income Fund (LIF). 10
11 SPOUSE For the purposes of the Plan, and in accordance with the Ontario Pension Benefits Act: Spouse means the person who: a) is married to the member; or b) the person not married to the member and who is living together with the member: (i) (ii) in a conjugal relationship continuously for a period of not less than 3 years, or in a conjugal relationship of some permanence if the person and the member are the natural or adoptive parents of a child, both as defined in the Family Law Act. Please note, for the purposes of the Plan, Spouse includes a common law partner. 11
12 FORMS OF PENSION FOR A PURCHASED ANNUITY MANDATORY PENSION FORM If you have a Spouse on the date your Annuity commences, the current Ontario pension legislation requires that, except as described below, you must elect a form of pension which provides a lifetime pension to you or your Spouse after either of you die, at the level of at least 60% of the pension that was payable before the death of you or your Spouse. You and your Spouse may waive the right to this joint pension by completing the form prescribed by the Ontario pension legislation. The form must be signed by your Spouse in the presence of an independent witness, but in your absence. OPTIONAL PENSION FORMS Rather than the mandatory pension form referenced above, you may elect a wide variety of optional forms of pension, subject to the completion of the above mentioned waiver form, where applicable, and regulations under the Income Tax Act. These optional forms of pension include: a guarantee period, which may be any whole number of years to a maximum of 15; a joint and survivor pension which continues to your Spouse at a rate equal to or less than the initial amount of pension. 12
13 BENEFICIARY Your Beneficiary is normally the person who will receive the death benefit under the Plan if you die. Ontario pension legislation requires the death benefit to be payable to your Spouse, even if you name someone else as your Beneficiary. Your Spouse, however, may waive their right to your death benefit by completing the form prescribed by the Ontario pension legislation. If you do not have a Spouse you may name anyone you want. If you do not name a Beneficiary or your Beneficiary dies before you, the death benefit will be paid to your estate. Please remember to keep your Beneficiary information up to date. Choosing a Beneficiary is an important decision. You may want to consult a lawyer to assist you in making a designation. You may also want to talk to your personal financial advisor about possible tax implications. All beneficiary changes must be made in writing. Please contact Pension Services to be provided with a form for that purpose. NAMING A MINOR AS BENEFICIARY You may name a child as the Beneficiary, if you don t have a Spouse. If you do name a minor child, you must also appoint a trustee to look after the child s benefits. You should consult a lawyer to make sure all requirements and potential scenarios after your death have been addressed adequately. 13
14 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT If your employment terminates for any reason other than death or retirement, you are entitled to the value of your Individual Account. You will be given the options of leaving your benefit in the Plan until some future date, but no later than the end of the year in which you turn age 71, or transferring the value of your Individual Account to a Locked In Retirement Account (LIRA). If, at your date of termination, you have completed less than 2 years of continuous employment, you may elect to forfeit the portion of your Individual Account which represents the University contributions and receive a taxable cash refund of the balance of your Individual Account. If, on termination of employment or retirement, your Individual Account provides a benefit less than the minimum permitted by the Ontario Pension Benefits Act, you will be required to transfer your Individual Account to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or receive it as a taxable cash refund. You will receive a statement outlining your benefit and options within 60 days of the date Pension Services notifies the third party administrator of your termination of employment. If you elect to transfer out of the Plan, your transfer will be initiated no later than 90 days after receiving your elected option and all necessary documentation. 14
15 DEATH BENEFIT If you should die prior to retirement, the death benefit is equal to the value of your Individual Account. If you have a Spouse at your date of death, the death benefit will be paid to your Spouse. Your Spouse may elect to: purchase an immediate or deferred life Annuity; transfer, on a tax sheltered basis, to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or to the registered pension plan of their employer, if that plan permits it, or receive a taxable cash refund. If you do not have a Spouse at your death of death, the death benefit will be paid to your Beneficiary, if living, or your estate as a taxable cash refund. MARRIAGE BREAKDOWN The Ontario Pension Benefits Act permits the division of pension assets by domestic contract or court order under the Family Law Act. In this event, your former Spouse, can not gain access to their assigned portion of your Individual Account until you are entitled to a benefit from the Plan (i.e., on termination of employment or death) or until you reach your Normal Retirement Date, whichever comes first. Your former Spouse can receive no more than 50% of the value of your Individual Account accrued during the period of your marriage. When a benefit becomes payable, your former Spouse will be entitled to the same options you receive. 15
16 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION Each year you will receive a statement showing the contributions made during the year, the net investment income credited and the total value of your Individual Account. In addition, it will confirm personal details held by the third party administrator. You or your authorized representative will also receive a statement describing your options if you terminate employment, retire or die, or if the Plan is terminated. You will receive a written explanation of any amendment to the Plan which may affect your benefits or rights. Subject to the payment of a reasonable fee to cover administrative expenses, you, your Spouse, or the authorized agent of either, may request copies of a number of documents including: the legal text of the Plan, the most recent information returns required to be filed regarding the Plan, the most recent Plan financial statement, and a list of the Plan s assets at the most recent year end. 16
17 ADMINISTRATION The Plan is a trusteed plan, administered by the University. It conforms to the Ontario Pension Benefits Act and the Income Tax Act and its regulations. The day to day operation of the Plan is the responsibility of the Vice President (Administration and Finance), subject to any delegation by the Advisory Committee to an outside or third party administrator of all or any part of such operation. The Advisory Committee is accountable to the University s Board of Governors. The committee is made up of: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) two members appointed by the Board of Governors; one member of each bargaining unit; one member of non union staff; and one member of non union Technical staff. Matters related to Plan improvements and amendments are dealt with by the Advisory Committee. 17
18 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Annuity is a plan purchased from an insurance company which pays an income to you for as long as you may live. Depending on the type of annuity you purchase, on your death the income may cease, continue for the lifetime of your Spouse if living, or be paid to your beneficiary for a guaranteed period of time. Beneficiary is the person who will receive the death benefit of your pension benefit if you die. Individual Account is the account established on your behalf to which the contributions are credited as explained in the section titled Individual Account. Fund is the trust fund to which contributions are made and from which benefits are paid. It is invested in accordance with the Ontario Pension Benefits Act and regulations under the Income Tax Act. Life Income Fund (LIF) is an account with a financial institution which allows you to continue managing your money, but receive an adjustable flow of retirement income subject to an annual minimum and maximum determined by the provincial and federal regulatory authorities. Locked In Retirement Account (LIRA) is similar to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) in that it is an account with a financial institution under which you can manage the investment of your money until you are ready to convert it to a retirement income. When you are ready to draw retirement income, the money is transferred out of the LIRA and may be used to purchase an Annuity with an insurance company or transferred into a Life Income Fund (LIF). Normal Retirement Date is the June 30 th or December 31 st coincident with or next following your 65 th birthday. Normal Salary means your basic rate of compensation, as determined by the University for the purpose of the Plan, excluding overtime payments and expense allowances. Plan means the Lakehead University Employee Pension Plan. 18
19 Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a tax sheltered plan permitted under the Income Tax Act to which individuals can make tax deductible contributions. All payments out of an RRSP are taxable. Spouse means means the person who: a) is married to the member; or b) the person not married to the member and who is living together with the member: (iii) (iv) in a conjugal relationship continuously for a period of not less than 3 years, or in a conjugal relationship of some permanence if the person and the member are the natural or adoptive parents of a child, both as defined in the Family Law Act. Year s Basic Excemption (YBE) is the amount below which no contributions to the CPP can be made. The YBE has been frozen since 1998 at $3,500. Year s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE) is the amount set each year under the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The YMPE amount is $48,300 in 2011 and will increase in the future at the same rate as average wages in Canada. 19
