For example, a man working coiitinuously with the Company from age 21 to65 is eligible for a pension of about threequarters of his annual pay. If he has 28years of continuous service he receives apension of about half his pay. If he has20 years of continuous service his pensionamounts to about one third of his pay.Disability PensionThe disability pension consists of l4 ofthe employee's average final compensationmultiplied by the number of years of hiscredited service, plus a sum equal to 6 multiplied by the number of years of his creditedservice.
