Death of the Annuitant If the Annuitant is not an Owner and dies prior to the Annuity Date, Owner 1 will become the new Annuitant unless you designate otherwise. If any Owner is not an individual, we will treat the death of the Annuitant as the death of an Owner.
Length of Contract As a part of your community’s program, your service from DESE will commence with your next available meter reading after processing of enrollment by your electric utility, and will continue for the term as specified in the opt-out notification, ending on your meter read for the last month of service.
Longer/Shorter Length of Coverage If none of the above rules determine the order of benefits, the benefits of the plan that covered a member or subscriber longer are determined before those of the plan that covered that person for the shorter term.
Life Annuity In addition to the rules imposed by the Act, a life annuity purchased with the property of the Plan must comply with Pension Legislation and must be established for the Annuitant’s life. However, if the Annuitant has a Spouse on the date payments under the life annuity begin, the life annuity must be established for the lives jointly of the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s Spouse, unless the Spouse has provided a waiver in the form and manner required by Pension Legislation. Where the surviving Spouse is entitled to payments under the life annuity after the Annuitant’s death, those payments must be at least 60 percent of the amount to which the Annuitant was entitled prior to the Annuitant’s death. The life annuity may not differentiate based on gender except to the extent permitted by Pension Legislation.
Sick Leave Annual Cash Out Each January, employees are eligible to receive cash on a one (1) hour for four (4) hours basis for ninety-six (96) hours or less of their accrued sick leave, if:
A. Their sick leave balance at the end of the previous calendar year exceeds four hundred and eighty (480) hours;
B. The converted sick leave hours do not reduce their previous calendar year sick leave balance below four hundred and eighty (480) hours; and
C. They notify their payroll office by January 31st that they would like to convert their sick leave hours earned during the previous calendar year, minus any sick leave hours used during the previous year, to cash. All converted hours will be deducted from the employee’s sick leave balance.

Base Annual Salary “Base Annual Salary” means the greater of (1) the highest annual rate of base salary in effect for the Executive during the 12 month period immediately prior to a Change in Control or, (2) the annual rate of base salary in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given (or on the date employment is terminated if no Notice of Termination is required).
OPTIONAL TWELVE-MONTH PAY PLAN 1. Where the Previous Collective Agreement does not contain a provision that allows an employee the option of receiving partial payment of annual salary in July and August, the following shall become and remain part of the Collective Agreement.

8. Interest earned by the Plan in the months of April through August shall be retained by the employer.
