An Opting employee is an indeterminate employee who does not receive a GRJO.  

The Employee will receive an opting letter confirming that the position is no longer required and they will have 120 days to choose between option A, B or C under Section 6.4 of the WFAD.

120-day Opting period  

The 120-day opting period begins on the date the employee receives written notice they are an opting employee. 

Once one of the options is picked and submitted in writing, the employee cannot change their option. 

If no option is selected within the 120-days, Option A is deemed selected by default. 

During the 120-days, the employee continues to work, be paid, and earn pensionable time.
