WHO CAN JOIN HOOPP?
Full-time employees
One of the benefits of being a full-time employee at a HOOPP employer is that, upon hiring, you immediately become a member of HOOPP.
Contract workers
Occasionally, contract workers at HOOPP employers can join the Plan – if you’re in this situation, ask your employer whether you qualify to become a member of HOOPP.
Part-time employees
If you are a part-time employee at an organization that offers HOOPP, you can join HOOPP when, in the previous calendar year, you have:
- Worked a minimum of 700 hours or
- Earned at least 35% of the year's maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE)
The criteria for part-time enrollment may vary - check with your human resources department about becoming a member.
To meet the minimum eligibility requirements, you can add together your hours or earnings from more than one HOOPP employer.
