Interpretation

At the time of the entry into force of Chapter III.1, the rate applicable to the contribution is set at 0.7%. See the Regulation respecting contribution rates (c. N-1.1, r. 5).

A supplementary contribution is required from employers of the four sectors specifically referred to and corresponds to the regular rate of employers, namely 0.07% to which is added a supplementary contribution at the rate of 0.12%, for a total of 0.19%.
