Pensions

A pension can be an important component of your retirement security, and it's one advantage of being a unionized public sector professional.

Defined benefit pension plans pool contributions from you and your Employer in a pension fund. These funds are then invested, and when you retire, provide you with a secure and predictable income.

The Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP) is the pension for AMAPCEO members at the Ombudsman - French Language Services Unit.

Eligibility

Regular employees

• Full-time employees and part-time employees must contribute to the PSPP.

Temporary employees

• Temporary employees have the option of joining the PSPP at any time during their contract. For more information, please contact the plan provider and your HR representative at the Ombudsman's Office.
