Pensions
🏦 Your Pension Matters
As a CUPE Local 1883 member, you're building a secure future through the OMERS pension plan—one of the most reliable and respected pension plans in Canada. OMERS provides you with a defined benefit pension, meaning your retirement income is predictable and based on your earnings and years of service, not market performance.
Your pension is an important part of your total compensation, and CUPE works hard to protect and strengthen it for all members.
🧠 Thinking About the Future? Start with Your Pension
If you’re early in your career, retirement might feel a long way off—but your OMERS pension is already working for you! As a CUPE Local 1883 member, you’re part of one of the best pension plans in Canada. OMERS is a defined benefit plan, which means when you retire, you’ll receive a stable, reliable income based on your salary and years of service—not the ups and downs of the stock market.
The earlier you start contributing, the more you’ll benefit later. Your pension is part of your paycheque—an investment in your future that grows over time, with both you and your employer contributing.
