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 Associations and the WSIB, it has been agreed that the WSIB will assume the full liability for attendance credits earned by employees of the Association who commenced employment prior to January 1, 1988 (IAPA) and January 1, 1998 (FSA). The Association, however, will be liable for attendance credits earned by employees hired between those dates and December 31, 1990. WSIB has provided funding for one of the four amalgamated Associations (FSA, IAPA, OSSA and SWPSO). 11. Exit bENEFits 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 time of payment.
