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 he is so absent, he shall pay the contributions required to be paid by him at such times and in such manner as the Minister, from time to time, prescribes, and any part of the contributions not paid during his absence shall be paid by that participant when he returns to duty by reservation from pay and allowances in accordance with subsection (2).

(2) Where a participant returns to duty after having been absent from duty with leave and has not paid the contributions required to be paid by him in respect of the period, or any part thereof, during which he was so absent, the appropriate amount of contributions shall be recovered by monthly deductions from his pay account during a period of not more than six months in amounts not less than amounts that were required to be paid by him while he was so absent, except that, in exceptional circumstances, the Minister, in his discretion, may extend the period during which the contributions shall be recovered.

(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 he was so absent by reservation from his pay and allowances, he 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 him in respect of the period during which he was so absent.
