Retirement information in PAWS

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

Pension Office

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.

You can submit completed paperwork by email, mail, fax or drop box outside of Admin E140. Please note that Pension staff are currently working in a hybrid environment so there is not always a staff member on campus. If you need to meet in person, please schedule an appointment by emailing pension@usask.ca.
