Working Part-time? Get HOOPP Working For You!

Are you – or someone you know – working part time?

We are reaching out to part-timers who haven't yet joined HOOPP to let them know how the Plan can play a key role in their financial future.

You've probably seen our posters – featuring the goose that laid the golden egg – around your workplace. There's also a brochure that explains HOOPP's valuable features – you can get a copy from your HR department, or direct from HOOPP. And, we've updated the part-timer webpages.

Among HOOPP's many features:

• for every dollar you contribute to HOOPP, your employer contributes $1.26
• if you work at more than one HOOPP employer, you can build benefits everywhere you work – increasing your pension
• HOOPP can travel with you if you find work at a new employer that offers HOOPP; a change in employment doesn't mean a break in your pension
• you can retire as early as age 55 – and receive a bridge benefit that tides you over until age 65, when government pensions typically begin
• HOOPP offers partial protection against inflation
• should you die before retirement, or predecease your spouse, HOOPP survivor benefits will help your loved ones
