Salary Indexation Award Archive

The Salary Indexation Award is a PSPP plan design feature that contributes to the growth of your average salary over the course of your career and serves to help offset the effects of inflation.

The Plan provides inflation protection by annually adjusting your past earnings when the funded status of the Plan is greater than 100%.

The target indexation award is the increase in average wages in Canada.

Employees must remain active to the end of the pension award year to receive the full award. Those who terminate before the end of a pension year will have their award pro-rated.
