Benefits for Retired Members

Article 40.9 of the collective agreement details what is to be provided to members when they retire.

Benefits Booklet:   Health (Out-of-Province)/Dental Benefits
    Note that the Health Plan is designed to reimburse expenses over and above those covered under a provincial health care plan. Once you turn 65, the provincial health care plan in your province of residence reimburses your prescription drug claims first; any remaining expenses may then be submitted to the Health Plan (currently Great West Life) for consideration. This is the case whether or not you are actually covered under the provincial plan (if you are not covered, the Health Plan will still reimburse prescription drugs as if you were covered by the provincial plan in your province of residence).

Benefits Letter: University Rights and Benefits for Retired Members
President Beckel's letter outlining benefits for retired CUASA members.

Benefits, Other:

Teaching credit courses and supervising after retirement
  • Graduate Supervision Appointments Policy                                                 Senate Approval April 28, 2006

    • "Researchers who are not currently employees of the university, including emeriti/ae and other retired faculty, are normally appointed to the honorary rank of Adjunct Research Professor. In order to monitor these cases, appointment to this rank would continue to be handled by GSRO, with the letter of appointment coming, as now, from the President's office. It is understood that all Adjunct Research Professors are eligible to undertake graduate supervisions, although they would normally be provided with a full-time fauclty member as co-supervisor (who may be nominal) to act as the point of contact with the University. Distinguished Research Professors, as long as they hold that rank, will be treated as tenured faculty."
  • Stipends  for teaching and supervising
  • Deductions from Stipend:
    If you are in receipt of CPP payments, CPP should not be deducted from your stipend. Payroll requires written confirmation from CPP that you are in receipt of benefits under CPP in order to cease deductions for CPP.

Union membership:  You remain a non-voting associate member of CUASA although you are no longer required to pay union dues. CUASA negotiates benefits and stipends on your behalf. If any union dues are deducted from your payment, bring this to the attention of Payroll for rectification and if that does not solve the problem, alert CUASA.
