If you want to leave the public service, you can try to alternate – in other words, give your position to someone who is opting and wants to stay in the public service. If your alternation is approved by management and is successful, two options are available to you:
-
Option B – TSM and a pension waiver (if applicable)
-
Option C (i) – TSM plus reimbursement of up to $17,000 for receipted expenses for tuition fees, costs of books, and relevant equipment
Information on the pension waiver:
Under option B, the Pension Waiver applies if the person became a plan member before January 1, 2013, and is at least 55 years old with at least 10 years of service at the end of their employment (not in receipt of an RJO and is laid-off); or the person became a plan member on or after January 1, 2013, and is at least 60 years old with at least 10 years of service at the end of their employment (not in receipt of an RJO and is laid-off).
For both options, you would resign and your departure date would be established by management.
A non-affected employee cannot select Option A (12-month surplus priority period to secure a reasonable job offer) or Option C (ii) (go on leave without pay for up to two years).
