Increasing Your Pensionable Service

We want to remind all members in the pension plan that you have two years from the date of receiving a tenured contract to purchase prior service. If you do not purchase the prior service during that window, you cannot do so later.

Prior service includes:

• a period of employment with any participating employer during which time you did not make pension contributions, such as work as a sessional employee.
• a period of pensionable service with an employer outside the UAPP provided you meet all the required conditions.

For more information you can consult the 2021 UAPP Member Handbook or the UAPP Info Sheets.
