The University of Saskatchewan's pension plans help faculty and staff create financial security in retirement. The Pension Office administers five pension plans for eligible members and is responsible for the overall effective and efficient administration of the plans.

There is a retirement channel in PAWS that is full of valuable information for faculty and staff who are considering retiring in the next 2-3 years, including:

• when to give notice of retirement
• pension and retirement income decisions
• benefit options after retirment
• retirement checklist
• post-retirment benefits
• and more

The Pension Office identifies and establishes operating guidelines of the pension plans and provides support to the various pension committees. It acts as a liaison and resource between the investment consultant, investment managers, actuary, custodian, service provider and pension committees.

The administration of pension benefits includes:

• receiving and remitting member contributions to the custodian/service provider
• maintaining member data
• calculating and processing pension benefits
• marital breakdown calculations
• producing pension statements
• responding to member requests for pension plan information
• providing communication for the plans
• preparing financial statements
• preparing various reports for the pension regulators

Please contact our office if you require further information.
