I’m retiring, am I entitled to a lump-sum performance award?

You must be on strength for the entire period of the fiscal year, from April 1st to March 31st, to be eligible for a performance award (provided you were at the top of the range). This is reflected under Appendix B, Part 2, section 5.1 of the AJC collective agreement.  For advice on retirement date selections, please contact your Governing Council representative.
