Section 45 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

45. Where a leave without pay or partial leave without pay staggers over a period of less than 30 days, the senior administrator shall maintain his participation in the insurance plans and pay the contribution he would normally pay if he were at work.

When a leave without pay staggers over a period of 30 days or more, or during any other absence without pay, the participation of the senior administrator in the uniform life insurance plan shall be maintained. Also, the senior administrator shall maintain his participation in the mandatory basic health-accident insurance plan by paying his premiums as well as the employer’s contribution in the plan. He may, provided that he applies to the employer for that purpose before the planned date of the leave or absence, maintain his participation in the insurance plans listed in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of section 62 that he owned before the leave or the absence, in accordance with the provisions of the master policy.

During a partial leave without pay that staggers over a period of 30 days or more, the participation of the senior administrator in the insurance plans shall be maintained based on the time worked during the leave, with the senior administrator paying his premiums and the employer paying his contribution to the plans. However, the senior administrator may maintain his participation in the plans based on the time worked before the partial leave without pay. In this case, he shall pay his premiums and the employer’s contribution to the plans based on the time not worked, except for the employer’s contribution to the mandatory basic health-accident plan which shall continue to be paid by the employer.

The senior administrator on leave without pay or on partial leave without pay who maintains his participation in the insurance plans which he owned before the leave or the absence without pay shall also maintain his participation in the survivor’s pension plan in accordance with the provisions prescribed for this plan.

For the purposes of the short-term salary insurance plan, a disability beginning during the leave without pay or the absence without pay is deemed to begin on the date of the end of the leave or absence.

A senior administrator benefiting from a deferred salary leave plan shall continue to participate in the group insurance plans listed in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of section 62. The sharing of the contributions paid to the mandatory basic plans shall be maintained during the deferred salary leave plan, including during the leave period, according to the terms that would be applicable to the senior administrator if he were not benefiting from the deferred salary leave plan. Throughout the deferred salary leave plan, the contributions of the senior administrator and of the employer shall be based on the total salary, as shall the coverage, and not on the salary paid under the chosen option.
