Procedures-Missed Mandatory Contributions
The remittance of missed mandatory contributions can be initiated by either the employer or OPTrust. For missed mandatory contributions upon enrolment, OPTrust will normally allow the employer 3 payrolls to catch-up the missed contributions before initiating the process below.

1) OPTrust identifies missed mandatory contributions

OPTrust will identify any periods for which the employer has missed mandatory contributions and calculate the total amount to be remitted, including interest.We will then inform the employer of the amounts due via e-mail sent from the secure employer site.

2) Employer remits missed mandatory contributions

The employer may remit the funds or data through the biweekly data feed or by cheque to OPTrust.
  • The employer must ensure that both the contributions and the actual hours worked for the period are remitted correctly.
  • The employer must indicate to OPTrust the payment method and the term of the repayment.

3) OPTrust updates the member’s file

  • Once OPTrust receives payment for the missed mandatory contributions (and/or any corrected data), we will update the member’s file to reflect the contributions received.

Important! All cheques are to be made payable to the OPSEU Pension Trust for the full amount due, including both the employee and employer share as well as all applicable interest. While the member may negotiate directly with the employer on payment terms, OPTrust must receive payment for the full amount of the contributions by the due date. If funds are not remitted on time, a recalculation of interest will be applied.

Payments must be sent by the employer. OPTrust cannot accept direct payment from the member/employee.
