Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 11:47 pm Post subject: Quick Pension Refund Question |
|
|
| Hi, I've been at the same school for about 20 months now. Due to personal and family reasons, I have to go back to Canada and leave this contract early(May 31). Will my leaving early effect my pension refund or will I still get everything back right up until my last month? Thanks for any help! |

| You will get everything back that you paid into it. |

| Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. It's nice to know I'll still be getting a nice little bonus as I'll be losing out on the end of contract payout. Thanks again! |

Well, hold on there.....
If you worked for same employer 20 consecutive months, you are entitled to your prorated severance too.
First 12 months = 1 month salary
next 8 months = 66% of 1 month salary (prorated). |

Are you sure about that, Cheese? I did receive my payout after the first contract. However, I thought that if you bailed on any contract before completion, you lose that year's severance completely. Anyway, I'll check my contract again. Thanks. |

I checked the MOLAB site and found this quote:
"if a worker has worked for more than one year in a workplace with 5 workers or more, the worker shall be given severance pay in the amount of at least 30-day average wages for each year of service. Severance pay, in principle, should be paid after retirement. However, should a worker request, he or she may receive, in advance, severance pay corresponding to their years of service to date."
It says for "each year of service". There's nothing about it being prorated.
