Collection of Spousal Information
All active members are asked to ensure that the name and date of birth of their spouse (including common-law partner) are recorded in the Employee Self Service (ESS) module of SAP.
A new Marital Status and Spousal Information page has been added to ESS. You can log on to ESS by visiting canadapost.ca and selecting “I’m an employee” or through My SAP on Intrapost.
- Select the “Personal Information” tab;
- choose “Marital Status and Spousal Information” from the left-hand menu; and
- enter the information about your spouse.
Information in ESS is protected: access is controlled via your User ID and password.
Canada Post has been directed to collect this information by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the federal pension regulator. The spousal information you provide will only be used for communications and administration purposes; for example, to prepare and mail your annual personalized pension statement and your pension kit at the time of retirement. It may also be used to further improve the accuracy of the calculation of Plan liabilities.
