Taking the worry out of retirement with a secure, stable, and predictable pension.

The pension you receive is based on a formula that considers a few key components including your earnings and years of service. The investment earnings of the plan, as well as the contributions made by you and your employer, are what fund your pension. Learn more about the factors that go into calculating what you and your employer contribute, and the pension you’ll receive.

Your plan is custom-built for the university sector, including special features to support you along your pension journey.

Changing employers and portability

If eligible, move seamlessly between UPP-participating employers, and combine part-time service at multiple UPP-participating employers.

Early unreduced retirement

Retire with an unreduced pension as early as age 60 if your age plus your eligibility service equal at least 80 points.

Inflation protection

Once you retire, your monthly pension may increase to protect against increases in the cost of living.

100% matched contributions

For every dollar you contribute to your pension plan, your employer matches it dollar-for-dollar on your behalf.

Joint governance.
Member-focused decisions.

UPP is a jointly sponsored pension plan (JSPP). A JSPP is a special type of defined benefit plan in which members and employers share equal responsibility for decisions about plan funding and design. Joint governance ensures a high degree of accountability and transparency while putting the interests of Plan members at the centre of every decision.

Announcement

Inflation protection for pensions in pay for 2024.

In 2024, pensions in pay for UPP’s retired members, survivors, and dependents are indexed at the full 75% for UPP service accrued on and after July 1, 2021, meaning a 3.54% increase to the post-conversion portion of their pensions.
