Commencing January 1, 1991, the former IAPA and commencing January 1, 2001, the former FSA were required to discontinue their participation in the WSIB Attendance Credits Plan. Due to past funding arrangements between these corporations and WSIB, it has been agreed WSIB will assume the full liability for attendance credits earned by employees of the Corporation who commenced employment prior to January 1, 1988 (IAPA) and January 1, 1998 (FSA). The Corporation, however, will be liable for attendance credits earned by employees hired between the aforementioned dates and December 31, 1990. Subsequent to December 31, 1990, employees no longer receive this benefit. As of period end, one employee (2015 – two) is entitled to attendance credit benefits amounting to $2,692 (2015 – $11,434). Exit benefits payable Effective January 1, 1991, the former IAPA implemented an exit benefits plan under which all employees hired prior to July 1, 2006 were eligible to receive payment on retirement or separation equal to one week's salary for each year of service. This plan was discontinued effective January 1, 2009 and employees were given the option of being paid out or deferring payment until their termination. Payouts are based on the current salary at the time of payment. As of period end, eight employees (2015 - ten) are entitled to exit benefits amounting to $184,075 (2015 - $221,587). 322016 | 2017 Annual Report Workplace Safety & Prevention Services
