Retirement benefits

~ The retirement benefits are designed to best meet the needs of retirement and its

various circumstances.

~ The benefits available to you will depend on your age, the years of service to

your credit and, in some cases, the reason why your employment ended.

Pensionable service

~ Pensionable service means the years (complete or partial) to your credit at

retirement, including any periods of elective service regardless of whether you

have fully paid for that service.

~ Please note that a year of part-time service counts as one year of eligible service

for threshold purposes.

Eligible service refers to time worked when you are eligible to make

pension contributions (whether you did or not) e.g. you only pay for a

portion of a year for most part-time work, but the entire year is counted

towards your 35 year maximum contributions.

~ You contribute a fixed percentage of your earnings for each pay period:

8.1% x your earnings up to the YMPE (2014)

• 11.6% x your earnings in excess of the YMPE. (2014)

Terminate Your Employment from Canada Post

When you retire or terminate your employment from Canada Post, you may be able

to choose how you receive your benefits from the plan.

RETIREMENT

Your retirement options from the pension plan depend on your age and your years of

pensionable service.

NORMAL RETIREMENT

You can retire with an unreduced pension anytime after you reach age 60, as long as

you have two or more years of eligibility service. However, if you have 30 years of

eligibility service, you can retire at age 55 with an unreduced pension.

Your pension is calculated using the formula described earlier, with your actual

highest average earnings and years of service.

If you retire ... You receive ... In what form ...

~ At age 60 or over with ~ An immediate pension ~ Unreduced at least two years of eligibility service

~ at age 55 or over with at least 30 years of eligibility service

New Basic Formula Used to Calculate Benefits Under the New Canada Post Corporation

Registered Pension Plan

As of October 1st, 2000

THE FORMULA THAT DEFINES YOUR BENEFIT

The benefit formula is the key to calculating all the benefits from the plan. It

considers:

~ Your years of pensionable service, up to 35 years;

~ Your highest average earnings (HAE), that is the average of your earnings during

your five highest-paid consecutive years with Canada Post, and

~ The average maximum pensionable earnings (AMPE), that is the average

Canada or Quebec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) earnings ceiling for the year you

retire and the four years before (your average earnings are used, if they are

lower).

Your pension is made up of two parts:

~ The lifetime pension that is payable from the date you retire until you die, and

~ The bridge pension, that is payable from the date you retire until age 65.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS TAB 7. PAGE 6 PARTICIPANT

The bridge pension is designed to level your income during your retirement, because

usually you retire before age 65, which is the age at which unreduced benefits are

payable from CPP/QPP.

EXAMPLE:

Andrew is 60 years old with 30 years of pensionable service and decides to retire

November 1, 2014. His highest average earnings are $52,196 and the average

maximum pensionable earnings is $49,840 (the average of the YMPE for 2010,

2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014). Andrew is entitled to an immediate unreduced pension.

Andrew's annual lifetime pension

1.3% X $49,840= ($648) +

2% X ($52,196 - $49,840) = $47 X 30 =

$20,851

Andrew's annual bridge pension until age 65

0.7% X $49,840 X 30 = $10,466

Andrew's lifetime and bridge pensions combined are $31,318, the amount he will

receive until age 65. The bridge pension, $10,466, ends at age 65; the lifetime

pension of $20,851 continues until his death. Both pension amounts are indexed

every year to keep up with inflation.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PART· TIME SERVICE

If you work part-time, your pensionable service is prorated. What this means is that,

before your pension is calculated, your years of pensionable service are multiplied

by the ratio of your average assigned hours worked to the hours a full-time employee

is regularly scheduled to work in the same position. Your earnings are annualized,

that is, expressed as the pay you would have received if you had worked for the

entire year.

Let's look at an example of a part-time employee entitled to an immediate unreduced

pension.

Marie is age 60 and worked 30 years half time. She decides to retire November 1 ,

2014. Her annualized highest average earnings are $52, 196*, and the average

maximum pensionable earnings is $49, 840.

OPTION AI IMMEDIATE REDUCED ANNUITY

If you choose an immediate reduced annuity, the amount of the reduction depends on your age and years of eligible service when you retire.

You may receive an immediate annuity, which is reduced to take into account the fact that it will be paid over a longer period.

You may receive an immediate reduced annuity in the following cases:

~ Let's look at two examples of how reduced pensions work.

1. Fred is 56 years old, wtth 21 years of pensionable service and highest

average earnings of $52,196. Fred decides to retire November 1, 2014. The

average maximum pensionable earnings is $49,840 (the average of the

YMPE for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014). Fred decides to take an

immediate reduced pension.

2. George is age 52, with 26 years of pensionable service and highest average

maximum pensionable earnings is $49,840 (the average of the YMPE for

2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014). He decides to take an immediate reduced

Transfer Value

TRANSFERING A COMMUTED VALUE INSTEAD OF RECEIVING A PENSION

If you leave Canada Post before you are entitled to receive an immediate pension

and have two or more years of eligibility service, you may choose to transfer the

commuted value of your pension to:

:> A locked-in registered retirement savings plan (RASP) or Life Income Fund,

:> Your new employer's registered pension plan, if that plan accepts such transfers,

or

:> An insurance company to purchase an annuity.

The commuted value of your pension is the estimated amount of money, in today's

dollars, that your pension is worth. An actuary calculates the amount using

assumptions set out in the laws governing the pension plan.

An RASP is locked-in when the money can't be taken out in cash. Instead, it has to

be used to give you retirement income. If you take the commuted value and transfer

it to a locked-in RASP, the administrator of that plan will have to give proof to

Canada Post that they will follow this rule.

If you wish to take the commuted value rather than receiving a pension from the

plan, you must notify Canada Post within 90 days of the date you receive your

pension plan option statement.

REI IREMENT ON GROUNDS OF DISABILITY

:> Disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that prevents the

individual from engaging in any employment for which the individual is

reasonably suited and that can reasonably be expected to last for the rest of the

individual's life.

For you to qualify for retirement on grounds of disability, Health Canada must

certify that you meet this definition.

:> If, before age 60, you become totally and permanently disabled and are unable to

work at any occupation, you will be entttled to a disability pension. This pension

CJ is based on your highest average earnings and years of pensionable service as

of the date of your disability. It is payable on an unreduced basis.

)

:> This provision applies whether you are actively at work when you become

disabled or are entitled to or receiving a pension. This disability pension will

include the bridge, which will be payable until you are age 65 or eligible to

receive the Canada or Quebec Pension Plan disability pension, whichever occurs

first.

:> If you are receiving a disability pension and later regain your health, the disability

pension is terminated. When you receive your retirement pension, it will be

adjusted to reflect the payments you received while you were disabled.
