Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

[Halifax Tar]

Best we can do is a F150 financed at 29% and a trio of ex wives.

You forgot the Harley…

I sailed with that guy.

 

[SeaKingTacco]

Do I have to contribute to the PS pension plan and benefits ? Or can I go on my own ?

I think you have no choice but to contribute until you hit 35 years.

 

[SeaKingTacco]

I sailed with that guy.

We all have…

 

[Remius]

I think you have no choice but to contribute until you hit 35 years.

Correct.

 

[Brad Sallows]

Calm yourself. They already have and are.

And apparently they also are not, for some.

 

[dapaterson]

I think you have no choice but to contribute until you hit 35 years.

And after 35, you contribute at 1% of earnings.

It's important to track it yourself, as there's no automated "This person is at 35 years combined" alert, so you risk having excess deductions taken, which require Phoenix action to refund, and are paid out without interest.

And apparently they also are not, for some.

Yes Brad, I know you are disappointed that they won’t be laying off everyone this time.

 

[Jarnhamar]

You forgot the Harley…

No Ninjas?

The disappointment is that governments keep finding ways to inflate the costs of hiring, employing, and firing.

The ERI is to help reduce the cost of firing.

Laying off is far more expensive.
