SFU Pension Plan
The SFU Academic Staff Pension Plan is a defined-contribution plan – that is, rather than providing a pre-determined benefit upon returning, each member’s pension is based on the amount s/he paid into the plan over the course of her/ his career. The basic benefit is the equivalent of 10% of salary contributed by the University. Members are not required to contribute additionally, but are able to do so should they wish to increase the benefit.
