Pension Plan Contribution Rate and Plan Review

The Department of Human Resources would like to advise the university community that the contribution rate under the Memorial University Pension Plan for both employees and the university will increase by 1.5 percentage points on Jan. 1, 2017. This rate increase is a result of the impact of lower interest rates, improvements in longevity and demographic changes.

For more information on this rate increase as well as information on a review of the pension funding model and governance that is underway, please read the Memorial University Pension Plan Bulletin for November 2016 which is accessible at http://www.mun.ca/hr/services/benefits/Pension_Bulletin_Fall_2016.pdf.

If you have questions, please contact MyHR at 864-2434 or email myhr@mun.ca.
