When you retire again, your pension will be recalculated to include the additional credit you accumulated while re-employed and based on pension rules in effect when you apply for your pension again.
If you end up working for less than a year, your pension will not be recalculated and we will refund the contributions you made, with interest, after we reconcile pension records with your employer.
