Returning to work in a term contract position?
TPP retirees who return to work in a term contract position may work up to 69.5 days in a school year without it affecting their pension; however on day 70, their pension must cease until they stop working.
Returning to work as a substitute teacher?
Effective until July 31, 2024, TPP retirees will be able to work as a substitute teacher for up to 99.5 days in one school year without impact to their pension.
The 99.5 days limit must include any days hired under contract (term). Retirees who have returned to work in a term contract are still limited to a maximum of 69.5 days. The maximum combined total teaching days permitted for the 2023-2024 school year is 99.5 days (substitute plus term).
If a retiree chooses to work beyond the stated limits, their pension payments must cease and they must begin contributing to the TPP. Depending on how long they continue to work, their pension may have to be recalculated once they decide to re-retire and recommence pension payments.
The limits as to the number of days which a retiree may work in the classroom post-retirement apply even if they have 35 years of service or more.
If you are considering working beyond these limits, please contact our office to discuss the possible impacts on your pension.
