Under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Employees’ Pension Plan (the “Plan”), members who are absent from work without earnings due to a strike or lockout have the option to purchase pensionable service for the duration of their absence. As a result, bargaining unit staff impacted by the WSIB labour disruption will be able to purchase pensionable service for the time they were away from work.

The statements regarding the purchase of service for the period impacted by the WSIB labour disruption are almost ready. Due to the ongoing Canada Post service interruption, these statements will be available exclusively online on My Pension Resource and will not be mailed as previously planned. You can access your quote, which details the cost and available payment options, under Resources > My Statements. Confirmation of Purchase forms can be submitted electronically through the Message Centre. Additional details will be included directly in your quote.
