  Working After Retirement
   
  There are limits on the number of days you can work after retirement without affecting your pension. Here’s what you need to know about the rules.  
   
 
  What is working in education?
For pension plan purposes, you work in education if you:
work in any capacity for a school board in Ontario;
work in a designated capacity for a designated organization, such as a teachers’ federation, which participates in the plan under a special agreement; or
work as a teacher or in some administrative positions
  – under an authorized exchange program;
  – for one or more of approximately 40 designated private schools in Ontario;
  – for an Ontario government ministry; or
  – for the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
 
 
  If you aren’t sure whether your employer participates in the Teachers’ plan, ask your employer or consult the lists of designated employers.

If you don’t know whether your position is covered by the re-employment rules, contact us.

 
 
   
  Designated employer rules change Sept. 1, 2008
Effective Sept 1, 2008, working after retirement limits will apply to any retired member of the Teachers’ pension plan who works in any position for a designated private school or a designated organization. Effective Sept. 1, 2008, you will be bound by the re-employment rules if you:
work in any position for a school board, designated private school or designated organization, such as a teachers' federation, which participates in the plan under a special agreement; or
work as a teacher or in some administrative positions
under an authorized exchange program;
for an Ontario government ministry; or
for the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Rules apply to self-employed and third-party contracts
A pensioner who works in education under a third-party or personal services contract is subject to the re-employment limits. If you are self-employed or work through a third-party agency as a teacher, tutor, vice-principal, principal or in other supervisory office positions, the rules apply to you.
