Part-timers Joining HOOPP

HOOPP understands the demands of your career and the unique challenges of working part time.

That’s one of the reasons we’re the pension provider of choice for the healthcare industry in Ontario.

Why join HOOPP?

We are custom built to meet your needs. Here’s how:

• Annualized earnings

Think you don’t earn enough to get a good pension? When calculating your pension, HOOPP annualizes the earnings of part timers. This means your earnings are treated as if you worked full time.

• Build one benefit

If you work at more than one HOOPP employer at the same time, you can build pension benefits at all of them (to legislated maximums). If you have a gap of six months or less between jobs, you can continue to build pension benefits seamlessly.

• Leaves don’t have to mean less pension

You can contribute for many periods when you aren’t working, such as maternity leaves and other employer approved leaves.

• You can make up for lost time

Think it’s too late to build a worthwhile pension? You can buy periods of service when you worked for a HOOPP employer, but didn’t belong to the Plan. You can also transfer in benefits from another plan.

• More benefits to belonging
