Le moyen le plus simple de surmonter cette difficulté serait d'adopter une formule de cotisation en paliers. Ainsi, si la cotisation se chiffrait à 5% moins la cotisation au RRQ/RPC, le participant payait effectivement 5% sur la tranche de salaire égale ou inférieure à l'exemption de base de l'année (EBA), 3,2% sur celle se situant entre l'EBA et le maximum annuel des gains admissibles (MAGA) et 5% sur la fraction du salaire en sus du MAGA. 1, record 4, French, - cotisation%20en%20paliers
