The purpose of this notice is to provide updated information concerning the financial institutions that administer the self-funded leave program for federal employees.

Caisse Desjardins has given notice that effective they terminated their agreement with the federal government with regard to the self-funded leave program. They have agreed to continue to administer existing agreements but are no longer accepting new applications for self-funded leave agreements.

Alterna Savings Credit Union Limited (formerly the CS-COOP) continues to accept new applications and administer the salary deferral arrangements.

Once the employee's manager has approved the leave, the pay office can send the application either by FAX or email to the contact below. The account will be set up and the application will be resent by FAX with Section 5 duly completed (with the account number for the deduction to be transferred to).
