Canadian Forces Superannuation Regulations

43 (1) Where a participant is absent from duty with leave but does not receive pay and allowances for or in respect of the period, or any part thereof, during which they are so absent, they shall pay the contributions required to be paid by them at such times and in such manner as the Minister, from time to time, prescribes, and any part of the contributions not paid during their absence shall be paid by that participant when they return to duty by reservation from pay and allowances in accordance with subsection (2).

(2) If a participant returns to duty after having been absent from duty with leave and has not paid the contributions required to be paid in respect of the period, or any part of it, during which the participant was absent, the contributions shall be recovered by monthly deductions from their pay during a period of not more than six months in amounts not less than the amounts that were required to be paid while they were absent.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in this section, where a participant who has been absent from duty with leave and has returned to duty is paying the appropriate amount of contributions in respect of a period when they were so absent by reservation from their pay and allowances, they may pay, in one lump sum, at any time prior to the expiration of the period during which the contributions are to be recovered from pay and allowances, the amount payable by them in respect of the period during which they were so absent.
