why join
The CAAT Pension Plan continues to enhance workplace pensions in Canada with a Modern defined benefit (DB) plan design that accommodates a variety of workplaces.
In direct response to employer needs, our latest innovations further integrate the contribution rate flexibility common to defined contribution (DC) plans and group RRSPs with the stability and benefit security of a Modern DB plan.
With a suite of flexible options now available, the DBplus plan design can accommodate a wider range of workplace, change management, labour and collective bargaining needs.
Reduce any barriers to participation by gradually increasing employee contributions through rate phase-ins.
Offer contribution levels that can vary by employee class, prior membership and bargaining unit. In certain cases, you may be able to determine eligibility by employee class.
Employers have the option of offering a range of contribution rates, with an associated employer match, for employees to choose from. Contribution Choice lets you tailor your organization’s contribution rates to your unique workforce needs. Learn how Contribution Choice works here
