2000 "Non Elective Pensionable Service Record".
|
|
1.2 |
This change will
be effective in the spring of 1999.

|
2.1 |
The Pension Support
System will be enhanced to be used in all cases where a PWGSC-TPSGC
2000 is still required, except for dual remuneration.
|
|
2.2 |
The Contributor
System does not accommodate more than one active account per
employee; therefore, a new form is being designed to report
salary and service for dual remuneration cases.
|
|
2.3 |
The form, similar
in format to the Pension Support System Screens, will be titled
"Salary/Service Information - Pension Support System" and
numbered PWGSC-TPSGC 2020.
|
|
2.4 |
The PWGSC-TPSGC
2020 will be completed by the employing department
responsible for the account not accessible on the Pension
Support System. The PWGSC-TPSGC 2020 will be forwarded to
the Superannuation Directorate for input to the Pension Support
System.
|

to the Pension Support System have been made, a manual PWGSC-TPSGC
2000 is still required for the following:

employees
whose average salary is based on less than six years
of current service;
|
| b) |
employees
who opt for a Reciprocal Transfer Agreement;
|
| c) |
employees
who opt for a Cash Termination Allowance;
|
| d) |

cases,
|
| f) |
cases where
the contributor effective date is blank on the Contributor
System;

Corporations and
Agencies who do not have access to the Pension Support System
will be required to complete the PWGSC-TPSGC 2020.
