Since 2014, you join the Plan and are immediately vested once your total Hours reported over any three (3) consecutive months equals 300 or more, in which case your membership date and your new Period of Participation shall both commence on the 1st of January of the year that your three-month qualifying period starts. The historical participation and vesting rules changed a number of times prior to 2014 and it is possible that members failed to satisfy the vesting requirements for earlier Periods of Participation. Additional information about historical vesting rules can be obtained by emailing Ellement Consulting Group at painters@ellement.ca or calling them using the toll free number (877) 641‑3122.
