It's not too soon to start getting details about company pension plans. This is a big, long term commitment which will take lots of thought and planning. Allowing good discussion and planning will help insure future ease of administration, clarity of understanding, and enthusiastic participation by all involved.


Why are you considering an employee pension plan?

  • Retain a trained and talented workforce.


How would a pension plan be structured?

  • Monthly deposits would be made by both the Company and Employees.

  • Deposits would be put into varied investment funds as chosen by individual employees.

  • Can also be set up as Tax Free Savings Accounts or Group RRSP's.

  • Annual reviews and changes can be made.

  • Minimal fund and/or administration costs.

  • On line investment monitoring for all to review.


What about employee participation?

  • Participation is optional for employees but recommended.

  • Participation is encouraged because of the company contribution portion.

  • Company participation is mandatory.


How much would a pension plan cost?

  • The amount of the monthly contributions is decided by the company.  The monthly administration costs are as low as $0.00 per month.
