st
credited to post-probation full-time employees on January 1 each year. Regular part-time employees are
allocated sick leave on a pro-rated basis. Unused credits may not be carried over to the next year or “cashed
out” at termination of employment.
Sick leave taken during the tendering of a resignation and the employee's last day of work will not be paid.
Exceptions may be approved in consultation with the responsible manager and Human Resources.
A Doctor's Certificate is mandatory for an absence due to illness of three (3) consecutive days or more.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan/Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (RRSP/DPSP) - All regular full-time

The annual tax-deductible contribution room, in all retirement savings plans, is 18% of earned income in the
previous year, up to an annual dollar limit, less contributions made to the DPSP which are reflected as a PA
(Pension Adjustment), plus any unused RRSP room from previous years. This amount represents the total
one can save under all tax-sheltered retirement plans. Assuming you do not have any unused room
available, the maximum contribution to an RRSP in 2015 is $24,930.
It is the responsibility of each
individual to monitor their contributions and ensure they do not exceed the maximum allowable contribution
limit. To find out what your 2015 contribution room is, please refer to your Tax Assessment issued annually
by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
