Shared Risk Pension (SRP)
Model
The Parties agreed that, effective July 1, 2013, the Plan was to be
converted to a Shared-Risk Plan.
The Shared-Risk Plan “targets” a base benefit that reflects the
defined-benefit pension model that was used previously.
Some of the major changes of the Plan were:
Final 5-Year Average Salary Plan is changed to an enhanced
career average plan.
Indexing is conditional upon the funded status of the Plan – is
targeted at 75% of indexing formula
Early retirement reduction is the “actuarial equivalent”
Contributions to the AESRP
Shared equally between you and UNB (50/50)
10.55% of earnings to YMPE ($53,600 in 2015)
12.25% of earnings above YMPE
EXAMPLE
For a $120,000 Salary, the calculation is as follows:
53,600 X 10.55%
= $5,654.80
(120,000 – 53,600) X 12.25%
= 8,134.00

Death After Retirement
When you die, 60% of your AESRP Pension will be paid to
your surviving spouse on a monthly basis.
Dependants’ pensions will be shared to surviving children
under 18 if there is no surviving spouse.
If there are no dependants and your contributions and interest
exceed the pension payments already received, the difference
will be refunded to your Estate.
* The Pension Board may also grant a survivor’s pension to a
disabled child over age 18, or to another member of your
family who was dependant on you at the time of death.

“Factor-85” Post-Retirement
Benefits
Factor-85 Faculty Members qualify for the
following benefits on a 50/50 cost share basis
until June 30th following the attainment of
age 65:
1.
Health & Dental Coverage *
2.
Group Life Insurance
* These would normally be paid 100% by the
retiree.
Retirement Allowance (Faculty)
UNB employees with 5 or more years of
continuous full-time service are eligible for a
retirement allowance payable the month after
they retire.
The retirement allowance is normally equivalent
to 1 week’s (5 days’) pay for each year of
service up to a maximum of 25 weeks. It is
based on the annual salary at retirement.
Retirement Allowance (cont)
In the Memorandum of Understanding regarding the elimination
of Mandatory Retirement, a special provision was included
that affects the amount of retirement allowance retirees will
receive.
If retirement occurs at a time later than the NRD, the
retirement allowance shall be decreased by 20% for each year
until age 70 at which time the entitlement is zero.
If an employee commits in writing to a specific retirement date
on or before the NRD, the retiree will receive an additional
amount equal to 5% for each 6 months of retirement prior to
the employee’s NRD. The maximum additional benefit that an
retiree can receive is 30% of their retirement allowance.
