For those of you thinking of retirement. There are some deadlines approaching fast. Here are the rules to getting the right outcome.
Employees will be eligible to receive the Retirement Allowance provided they submit their Notice of Intent to Retire and their last day of work is on or before the date of ratification of a new collective agreement.
Example A:
Last Day Worked by employee June 30, 2022 – employee using their outstanding vacation and Lieu time as time off until September 1, 2022. First day of retirement September 2, 2022
Ratified Union Contract July 1, 2022
Employee would be eligible for the retiring allowance provisions which would be payable to the employee on their last pay cheque with The City in September 2022
Example B:
Last Day Worked by employee June 30, 2022 – employee using their outstanding vacation, lieu time and retiring allowance as time off until October 31, 2022. First day of retirement November 1, 2022
Ratified Union Contract July 1, 2022
Employee would be eligible for the retiring allowance provisions; there would be no payout’s of any balances as employee has chosen to take all as time off.
Example C:
Last Day Worked August 1, 2022 – which was approved and submitted to Payroll on Intent to Retire Form on November 15, 2021
Ratified Union Contract July 1, 2022
Employee would NOT be eligible for the retiring allowance provisions (either chosen to be paid or as time off whichever they had chosen and articulated on the Intent to Retire Form).
I'm back in Local 37. CBA language is finalized, going to be voted on soon. Can't say much, but it is likely going to be good for those that are not red circled.
Probably should thank L38 for failing to acheive an monetary agreement, and choosing to go through mediated settlement. Everyone else was able to get what was mediated.
Today I speak to how CUPE Alberta is handling Bill 32. We speak about Jason Kenny, the UCP, attacks, and the NDP. This is my first ever interview style conversation on this podcast.

The Greenshield portal has changed and so too has the ways in which we can redeem last years remaining Health Spending Account. There are deadlines on this. Usually the end of Jan/Feb of the following year.
