If a Full-Time Regular Employee who job trades or lateral transfers into a Regular Part-Time Employee then job trades back into a Full-Time Regular Employee, any service as a Regular Part-Time Employee shall be calculated according to the following formula:

Yes.
No. Relocation expenses incurred by employees who trade jobs or lateral transfer will not be reimbursed by the Employer.
Yes. You will only receive pension credit for the actual time you worked, up to your regular part-time ratio (e.g., working part-time at 50% for 2 years gives you 1 year of pension credit). Fewer years of pension credit would give you a smaller pension and could delay your eligibility for early retirement (eligibility is based on a combination of age and pension credit).
If you work part-time you cannot get full pension credit for that service. You cannot make ‘top up’ payments for the difference or ‘buy back’ the rest of the service.
Example: a member working 50% of full time hours would have to work 40 years to accrue 20 years of pensionable service to be eligible for the 60/20 early retirement option.
YES. Regular Part-Time Employees have the option of participating in the Supplementary Health and Hospital with Vision Care and Hearing Aid Plan and Dental Plan and may change their option in December of any year with the effective date being January 1st of the following year.

- Employee works 60%:
- Employee pays 40% of premium
- Employer pays 60% of premium

124 STSP credits at 75% salary
RPT Employee earns: 4.8 STSP credits at 100% salary
99.2 STSP credits at 75% salary
