Summary Plan Description

Overview of Regulations Relating to Participation

(For a more complete description, including rules applicable to prior periods, consult your Summary Plan Description booklet)

You are eligible to earn Pension Credits and Vesting Service when you are a participant in the Pension Plan. Generally, you become a participant in the Plan on the earliest January 1 or July 1 after:

  • You complete a 12-month period as an employee, and

  • You accumulate at least 500 hours of work during that time.

For example, if you started work on April 1, 1993 and completed 500 hours of work before April 1, 1994, you became a Plan participant on July 1, 1994.
