BENEFITS
Manitoba School Boards Association Pension Plan
All full-time employees must become a member of the plan after 1 year of service. During each year of membership you will contribute to the plan a percentage of your salary. The percentage varies according to your age at the beginning of the Plan Year (January 1). Your required contributions will be matched equally by the School Division. At retirement, your contributions and the Division's contributions plus investment income will be applied to provide retirement income.
