Pre-Retirement Seminars 2020-21
PLEASE NOTE: All sessions for the 2020-21 Pre-Retirements seminars are currently full. We regret that we are no longer able to accept any further applications at this time.
Members who are eligible to retire within two years of the expiry of the current school year (by June 2023) can register for one of the NLTA’s Pre-Retirement Seminars scheduled to be held this fall/winter. Due to COVID-19 and required precautions resulting from the ongoing Public Health emergency, the NLTA will be offering these seminars virtually in order to ensure the safety and protection of our members, staff and resource people. This is in keeping with the Association’s position regarding health and safety measures in schools.
These seminars are in accordance with Association policy as part of its overall program of pre-retirement counselling. Clause 18.12 of the Provincial Collective Agreement and Clause 29.12 of the Labrador West Collective Agreement provide two days paid leave to attend these seminars. As the sessions will be held virtually, travel will not be required and members can choose from any one of the available dates.
Information sessions deal with topics such as the Teachers’ Pension Plan, Severance Pay, Employment Insurance, NLTA Group Insurance, Financial and Estate Planning and the Canada Pension Plan. As well, time will still be available for individual counselling of prospective retirees by the various consultants.
Read the full text of the NLTA Policy on Pre-Retirement Seminars located in the Policy Handbook of the NLTA (under Section IV, Subsection G). The NLTA policy will also be emailed to members with confirmation of registration.
Given the large number of members eligible to retire, we reserve the right to limit the number of people who will be granted access to attend each session. Consequently, it is imperative that members plan ahead and register early in the event that registrations have to be taken at a first-come, first-served basis.
