The pension plan is jointly funded by payments from the Credit Union and certain employees, taking into account the recommendations of independent qualified actuaries. The actuary periodically (at least every three years) evaluates the financial position of the plan and recommends the future contribution rate for the Credit Union. The last full actuarial valuation of the pension plan for eligible employees was carried out on March 31, 2021. The next full review will be performed in 2024. In a defined benefit pension plan, the employees’ entitlement is determined by a formula based on their years of pensionable service and pensionable salary. It is typical for the employees’ benefit to be integrated with the retirement benefits provided by the National Insurance. The contribution rate paid by the employee is fixed and the Credit Union pays the balance of the ultimate cost of the benefits and hence the Credit Union’s contribution is unknown. The Credit Union is expected to pay $802,470 in contributions to its defined benefit plan in 2024 (2023: $819,109).
