Record 5 1995-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Employment Benefits
DEF

For members of Parliament, accepting parliamentary pay while collecting pensions from previous public service.

OBS

For those unfamiliar with these terms, a double dip occurs when a former MP, who is receiving a political pension, accepts a second paycheque from the public purse for a government job. Double-dipping is to be forbidden under reforms to the MPs’ pension plan announced in February by Treasury Board president Art Eggleton. But the reverse dip wasn’t mentioned in those reforms. This dip is more insidious because it's largely hidden. It occurs when sitting MPs accept parliamentary pay($64, 400 in salary, plus a $21, 300 tax-free allowance) and also quietly collect pensions from previous public service. The pensions may derive from a stint as a provincial MLA, or jobs in the public service or the military.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Avantages sociaux
OBS

Il s'agit de la même notion que le "double-dipping" mais dans ce cas, la situation est inversée.

Mettez un peu d'argent de côté à intervalles réguliers, et n'y touchez pas. Les dépôts automatiques sont très attrayants, car c'est quelqu'un d'autre, autorisé à agir en votre nom, qui les fait pour vous. Les banques offrent parfois de transférer une certaine somme de votre compte de chèques à votre compte d'épargne. Ou votre employeur peut pratiquer des déductions à la source pour faire ce dépôt.
