Pension Fund 1. The Employer shall make contributions to a pension trust fund known as the “Building Service 32BJ Pension Fund” to cover bargaining unit employees who are regularly employed twenty (20) or more hours per week, including paid time off. The Employer shall also make contributions on behalf of other bargaining unit employees to the extent that such employees work a sufficient number of hours to require benefit accrual pursuant to Section 204 of ERISA. Employees unable to work and who are on statutory short term disability benefits or workers’ compensation shall continue to accrue pension credits without employer contributions during the periods of disability up to six (6) months or the period of disability whichever is earlier. 2. The Employer shall pay into the Fund the sum of $94.75 per week for every regular employee as defined in the Building Service Pension Plan, as it may be amended, except as provided in Section 4 hereof. 3. Effective January 1, 2015, the Employer shall pay into the Fund the sum of $98.75 per week for every regular employee. 4. If the Employer has in effect a pension and retirement plan which has been determined to provide benefits equivalent or superior to those provided under the Building Service 32BJ Pension Plan, it may continue such plan provided it continues to provide retirement benefits equivalent or superior to the benefits that are provided under the Building Service 32BJ Pension Plan during the term of this agreement, and it shall be relieved of any obligation to make payments into the Fund. 5. Any Employer who becomes party to this Agreement and who immediately prior thereto has a pension plan in effect which provides benefits equivalent to or better than the benefits provided herein, may, upon agreement of the Union and RAB, cover his/her employees under its existing plan in lieu of this Fund and be relieved of the obligation to make contributions to the Fund for the period of such other coverage. 6. In no event shall the Trustees or any of them, the Union or the RAB, directly or indirectly, by reason of this agreement, be understood to consent to the extinguishment, change or diminution of any legal rights, vested or otherwise, that anyone may have in the continuation in existing form of any such Employer pension plan, and the Trustees or any of them, the Union and the RAB shall be held harmless by an Employer against any action brought by anyone covered under such Employer’s plan asserting a claim based upon anything done pursuant to Section 5 of this Article. Notice of the pendency of any such action shall be given the Employer who may defend the action on behalf of the indemnitee. 7. The parties agree that if there is new governmental regulations issued that implement the excise tax provisions of the Pension Protection Act (PPA), or there is further governmental reform relating to the funding of pension funds, the parties shall meet to discuss what steps, if any, might be appropriate to ameliorate any adverse impact on the Funds, its participants and employers. To the extent that any employer covered by this Agreement, with respect to employees covered by this Agreement, becomes subject to the automatic employer surcharge or any excise tax, penalty, fee, increased contribution rate or other amount relating to the funding of the Pension Fund (but not including interest, liquidated damages, or other amounts owed as a consequence of failing to make timely remittance of contributions to the Pension Fund) under Sections 412 or 432 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties agree that the required contributions to the Health Fund, Training Fund and/or Legal Services Fund for each employer covered under this Agreement shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the aggregate amount of any additional contribution and/or surcharge amounts, excise taxes, penalties, fees or other amounts that such employer is required to pay, as provided in this subsection. Unless a different allocation among the Funds is agreed upon in advance of any applicable due date for such contributions by the Presidents of the RAB and Local 32BJ, such amount shall be allocated solely from the Health Fund.

Supplemental Retirement Benefit The Executive will be entitled to receive a monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the "Supplemental Retirement Benefit") commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or following the later of the Executive's termination of employment or attainment of age 60 and continuing for the remainder of his life. Unless otherwise elected by the Executive, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity which shall be unreduced for the actuarial value of the survivor's benefit. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is not more than four years younger than the Executive, the survivor benefit shall be equal to 50% of the Executive's benefit and shall be payable to his spouse for the remainder of the spouse's life. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is more than four years younger than the Executive, the benefit payable to the spouse shall be reduced to a benefit having the same actuarial value as the benefit that would have been payable had the spouse been four years younger than the Executive. The Executive shall also have the right to elect a 100% joint and survivor annuity, on an actuarially-reduced basis or a lump-sum payment, on an actuarially-reduced basis (if the Executive makes a timely lump-sum election which avoids constructive receipt), or any other form of payment available or provided under the "Supplemental Plans" defined in this Section 8. Actuarial reductions shall be based on the actual ages of the Executive and his spouse at the time of retirement. If the Executive is not married at the time of his retirement, actuarial adjustments shall be made as if the Executive had a spouse with the same date of birth as the Executive. In the event that the Executive elects a form of payment other than the automatic 50% joint and survivor annuity or other than a lump sum payment, and remarries subsequent to retirement, the benefits payable under this Section shall be actuarially adjusted at the time of the Executive's death to reflect the age of the subsequent spouse. If the Executive elects a lump sum payment at retirement, no further benefits will be payable under this Section.
Survivor Benefit Upon the death of a regular employee who leaves a spouse and/or dependants enrolled in the Medical Services Plan, Dental Plan and Extended Health Benefit Plan, such enrolment may continue for twelve (12) months following the employee’s death, provided the enrolled family members pay the employee’s share of the cost of the premium for the plans. The Employer shall advise the survivor of this benefit.
