Elective Deferrals Any Employer contributions made to the Plan at the election of the Participant, in lieu of cash compensation, and shall include contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other deferral mechanism. With respect to any taxable year, a Participant's Elective Deferral is the sum of all employer contributions made on behalf of such Participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in section 401(k) of the Code, any salary reduction simplified employee pension described in section 408(k)(6), any SIMPLE IRA Plan described in §408(p), , any plan as described under section 501(c)(18), and any employer contributions made on the behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity contract under section 403(b) pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. Elective Deferrals shall not include any deferrals properly distributed as excess annual addition. For years beginning after 2005, the term “elective Deferrals” includes Pre-tax Elective Deferrals and Xxxx Elective Deferrals. Pre-tax Elective Deferrals are a participant’s Elective Deferrals that are not includible in the participant’s gross income at the time deferred. The Employer may, if notification is made within a reasonable time and in a manner described in IRS Revenue Ruling 2000-8, 2000-7 IRB617, allow for negative elections. If such administrative provision applies and the Employee does not affirmatively elect to not participate and the Employee does not affirmatively elect a different amount (including no amount), a default amount shall be deducted from the Employee’s Compensation. Such default amount shall be part of the initial notification received by the Employer. If negative elections apply under the Plan, the Employer shall indicate whether the default shall be a pre-tax Elective Deferral or a Xxxx Elective Deferral in the Adoption Agreement.
How Do I Correct an Excess Contribution? If you make a contribution in excess of your allowable maximum, you may correct the excess contribution and avoid the 6% penalty tax for that year by withdrawing the excess contribution and its earnings on or before the date, including extensions, for filing your tax return for the tax year for which the contribution was made (generally October 15th). Any earnings on the withdrawn excess contribution may also be subject to the 10% early distribution penalty tax if you are under age 59½. In addition, although you will still owe penalty taxes for one or more years, excess contributions may be withdrawn after the time for filing your tax return. Excess contributions for one year may be carried forward and applied against the contribution limitation in succeeding years. An individual who is partially or entirely ineligible to make contributions to a Xxxx XXX may transfer amounts of up to the yearly contribution limits to a non-deductible Traditional IRA (subject to reduction for amounts remaining in the Xxxx XXX plus other Traditional IRA contributions).
Excess Contributions An excess contribution is any amount that is contributed to your IRA that exceeds the amount that you are eligible to contribute. If the excess is not corrected timely, an additional penalty tax of six percent will be imposed upon the excess amount. The procedure for correcting an excess is determined by the timeliness of the correction as identified below.
Employer Contribution (a) An Employer contribution for health and dental benefits will only be made for each active employee who has at least eighty (80) paid regular hours in a month and who is eligible for medical insurance coverage, unless otherwise required by law.
(b) It is understood that the administrative intent of this Article is that the Employer contribution is made for individuals who are participants in the medical insurance coverages. Participation will mean that eligible less-than-full-time employees who drop out of coverage will be considered to participate. Additionally, employees who elect to opt out of coverage for a cash incentive will be considered to participate.
Employer Contributions 16.01 Employer contributions shown in the tables in the attached appendices shall be made on all hours of work performed which are included in computing the eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours per week after which overtime is payable and shall be recorded on a standard remittance report provided by the Union and remitted on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following the month for which contributions are due and payable, to the Trust Funds. Hours of work performed are interpreted to mean daily travel time, daily working time, reporting time, and, if the employee is required to perform a welding test, testing time. Contributions for overtime hours will be calculated as straight time hours. The Employer shall provide each employee covered by this Agreement with a statement with each weekly paycheque stating the total number of hours reported for contributions to the Pension and Health & Welfare Funds on behalf of that employee for the period covered by the paycheque.
16.02 All such funds due and payable to the above funds shall be deemed and are considered to be Trust Funds. It is expressly understood that training funds are not wages or benefits due to an employee and industry promotion funds are deemed to be dues for services rendered by the Association.
16.03 The Board of Trustees of the respective Trust Funds shall have authority to promulgate such agreements, plans and/or rules as may be necessary or desirable for the efficient and successful operation and administration of the said Trust Fund, including provisions for an audit, security, surety and/or liquidated damages to the extent that such may be necessary for the protection of the beneficiaries of such Trust Funds. In the event that any Employer is delinquent in his contributions to the above funds for more than thirty (30) days, the Employer and the Association shall be notified of such delinquency. If after five (5) days from such notice such delinquency has not been paid, the Employer shall pay to the applicable funds as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the arrears for the month, or part thereof, in which the Employer is in default. Thereafter interest shall accumulate at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (24% per year compounded monthly) on any unpaid arrears, including liquidated damages.
16.04 Any and all agreements, plans or rules established by the Boards of Trustees of the respective Trust Funds shall be appended hereto and shall be deemed to be part of and expressly incorporated herein and the Employer and the Union shall be bound by the terms and provisions thereof.
16.05 The Employer shall not be required to make additional contributions or payments to any Industry Funds established by the Union or its Local Unions nor to any such funds established by Provincial or Territorial Government orders, regulations, or decrees for the purpose of providing similar benefits, it being understood and agreed that the contributions for herein, or any portions thereof shall be deemed to be in lieu of and/or shall be applied as payments to such funds. This provision shall not be applicable to any national funds or plans having general application and established by an Act of the Government of Canada.
16.06 In the Province of Ontario, the Trustees/Administrator of the employee benefit funds referred to in this Agreement shall promptly notify the Local Union of the failure by any Employer to pay any employee benefit contributions required to be made under this Agreement and which are owed under the said funds in order that the Program Administrator of the Ontario Employee Wage Protection Program may deem that there has been an assignment of compensation under the said Program in compliance with the Regulations to the Ontario Employment Standards Amendment Act, 1991, in relation to the Ontario Employee Wage Protection Program.
16.07 The parties hereto agree that contribution rates for the trust funds listed herein do not include any Provincial or Federal taxes.
Matching Contributions The Employer will make matching contributions in accordance with the formula(s) elected in Part II of this Adoption Agreement Section 3.01.
Maternity Allowance (a) An employee who has been granted maternity leave without pay shall be paid a maternity allowance in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plan described in paragraph (c) to (i), provided that she:
(i) has completed six (6) months of continuous employment before the commencement of her maternity leave without pay,
(ii) provides the Employer with proof that she has applied for and is in receipt of maternity benefits under the Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan in respect of insurable employment with the Employer, and
(iii) has signed an agreement with the Employer stating that:

(B) following her return to work, as described in section (A), she will work for a period equal to the period she was in receipt of maternity allowance;
(C) should she fail to return to work in accordance with section (A), for reasons other than death, lay-off, early termination due to lack of work or discontinuance of a function of a specified period of employment that would have been sufficient to meet the obligations specified in section (B), or having become disabled as defined in the Public Service Superannuation Act, she will be indebted to the Employer for the full amount of the maternity allowance she has received. Should she return to work but fail to work for the total period specified in section (B), for reasons other than death, lay-off, early termination due to lack of work or discontinuance of a function of a specified period of employment that would have been sufficient to meet the obligations specified in section (B), or having become disabled as defined in the Public Service Superannuation Act, she will be indebted to the Employer for an amount determined as follows: (allowance received) X (remaining period to be worked following her return to work) [ total period to be worked as specified in (B)] however, an employee whose specified period of employment expired and who is rehired by OSFI within a period of thirty (30) days or less is not indebted for the amount if her new period of employment is sufficient to meet the obligations specified in section (B).
(b) For the purpose of sections (a)(iii)(B), and (C), periods of leave with pay shall count as time worked. Periods of leave without pay during the employee's return to work will not be counted as time worked but shall interrupt the period referred to in section (a)(iii)(B), without activating the recovery provisions described in section (a)(iii)(C).
(c) Maternity allowance payments made in accordance with the SUB Plan will consist of the following:
(i) where an employee is subject to a waiting period of two (2) weeks before receiving Employment Insurance maternity benefits, ninety-three per cent (93%) of her weekly rate of pay for each week of the waiting period, less any other monies earned during this period,
(ii) for each week that the employee receives a maternity benefit under the Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance plan, she is eligible to receive the difference between ninety-three per cent (93%) of her weekly rate and the maternity benefit, less any other monies earned during this period which may result in a decrease in her maternity benefit to which she would have been eligible if no extra monies had been earned during this period.
(d) At the employee's request, the payment referred to in subparagraph 17.02(c)(i) will be estimated and advanced to the employee. Adjustments will be made once the employee provides proof of receipt of Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance maternity benefits.
(e) The maternity allowance to which an employee is entitled is limited to that provided in paragraph (c) and an employee will not be reimbursed for any amount that she may be required to repay pursuant to the Employment Insurance Act or the Parental Insurance Act in Québec.
(f) The weekly rate of pay referred to in paragraph (c) shall be:
(i) for a full-time employee, the employee's weekly rate of pay on the day immediately preceding the commencement of maternity leave without pay,
(ii) for an employee who has been employed on a part-time or on a combined full-time and part-time basis during the six (6) month period preceding the commencement of maternity leave, the rate obtained by multiplying the weekly rate of pay in subparagraph (i) by the fraction obtained by dividing the employee's straight time earnings by the straight time earnings the employee would have earned working full-time during such period.
(g) The weekly rate of pay referred to in paragraph (f) shall be the rate to which the employee is entitled for her substantive level to which she is appointed.
(h) Notwithstanding paragraph (g), and subject to subparagraph (f)(ii), if on the day immediately preceding the commencement of maternity leave without pay an employee has been on an acting assignment for at least four (4) months, the weekly rate shall be the rate she was being paid on that day.
(i) Where an employee becomes eligible for a pay increment or pay revision while in receipt of the maternity allowance, the allowance shall be adjusted accordingly.

Special Maternity Allowance for Totally Disabled Employees (a) An employee who:
(i) fails to satisfy the eligibility requirement specified in subparagraph 17.02(a)(ii) solely because a concurrent entitlement to benefits under the Disability Insurance (DI) Plan, the Long term Disability (LTD) Insurance portion of the Public Service Management Insurance Plan (PSMIP) or the Government Employees Compensation Act prevents her from receiving Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan maternity benefits, and
(ii) has satisfied all of the other eligibility criteria specified in paragraph 17.02(a), other than those specified in sections (A) and (B) of subparagraph 17.02(a)(iii), shall be paid, in respect of each week of maternity allowance not received for the reason described in subparagraph (i), the difference between ninety-three per cent (93%) of her weekly rate of pay and the gross amount of her weekly disability benefit under the DI Plan, the LTD Plan or via the Government Employees Compensation Act.
(b) An employee shall be paid an allowance under this clause and under clause 17.02 for a combined period of no more than the number of weeks during which she would have been eligible for maternity benefits under the Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan had she not been disqualified from Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance maternity benefits for the reasons described in subparagraph (a)(i).
Average Annual Compensation The Executive's "Average Annual Compensation" for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the average level of compensation paid to the Executive by the Employers or any subsidiary thereof during the most recent five taxable years preceding the Date of Termination, including Base Salary and benefits and bonuses under any employee benefit plans of the Employers.
