2010 Specified Plan Changes
The SC has completed deliberations on the 2010 Specified Plan Change proposals, and has approved a three-year, multi-dimensional strategy to support the funded security of the OMERS Primary Plan, including temporary contribution rate increases for members and employers that average 1% of a member's earnings per side in 2011, 1% in 2012, and 0.9% in 2013. Beginning with the first, full pay period in 2011, the rates paid by active members (and matched by their employers) will be as follows. The exact rates for 2012 and 2013 will be determined next year.
