Group RRSPs
Group Registered Retirement Savings Plans (Group RRSP’s) can be both an employee and/or employer sponsored plan. Group RRSP’s are administered on a group basis by the employer, and employee contributions are made via payroll deduction. Typically these contributions are matched by the employer up to a pre-determined percentage, however contributions by the employer are not mandatory.
Pension Plans
With Defined Pension Plans contributions into the pension plan are typically made by both the employee and the employer according to a matching formula. Usually this a percentage of employee income or a predetermined dollar amount. The employee may include ‘voluntary’ contributions over and above the required formula.
The main difference between the Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Group RRSP is that Pension Plans are required to follow pension legislation whereas the employer has more flexibility implementing the guidelines of a Group RRSP.
