Join HOOPP Members Joining HOOPP

Join HOOPP today.

We all know how important it is to plan for the future, but with so much to think about every day and the unpredictable twists and turns that life can throw at us, it might feel like saving for your retirement isn’t possible right now. Although none of us know what tomorrow will bring, HOOPP can offer you security and predictability today – and a stable income you can count on for life. It all starts with one shift.

Whether you’re a part-time, contract or casual employee, you’ll see the difference that a HOOPP pension makes to your future, with every dollar you contribute. Here are some of the reasons why:

Did you know?

A recent survey shows that 69% of Canadians would prefer a slightly lower salary so they can have a pension (or a better pension).

With HOOPP, you have access to something a lot of people don't.

Get more for your money

These days, every dollar counts. While you might have other priorities right now, HOOPP makes it easy and affordable to build a secure financial future, no matter your age or earnings. And in the long run, every dollar you contribute can give back in a big way.

Let's look at four examples of part-time employees that join HOOPP at different stages of their lives. You’ll see that each member will receive more in pension payments than they contributed to the Plan over time. Being a HOOPP member pays off.

* The above examples are for illustrative purposes only. The annual pension will be different from the amounts shown. YMPE 2023 has been used to determine the contributions and pension amounts. The above examples are based on an assumed “annualized earnings” (as defined in the HOOPP Plan Text); average year’s maximum pensionable earnings (AYMPE) of $66,600 each year; no hourly earnings increases; part-time hours worked with full-time equivalent of 37.5 hours per week; does not include any cost of living adjustments that may be provided; assumes that member contribution rates do not change; and does not consider inflation in any way. The monthly pensions assume that for each year of contributory service, you receive 1.5% of your “annualized earnings” up to the AYMPE, plus 2% of your “annualized earnings” above the AYMPE. No historical benefit improvements on past service are included, all assumed to join the Plan post July 1, 2024.
