How to join
If you’re a permanent, full-time employee, you’re automatically enrolled into the Plan as of your first day of permanent employment. You will remain a member of the Plan for as long as you’re an employee, even if you become part-time or change to a temporary employment status.

What is a defined benefit pension?
The Plan is a defined benefit pension plan, which means you receive a predictable, monthly pension upon your retirement, for the rest of your life. WISE Trust invests the pension assets on your behalf.
