If you exceed your earnings limit, you must repay the excess earnings to your employer or your retirement allowance would be suspended. (Refer to How do I repay excess earnings to my employer?). If you are working under a Section 212 Waiver, your suspension would begin in the month you exceed your earnings limitation and generally continue for the rest of the calendar year. Under a Section 211 Waiver, the suspension would continue until the amount of your suspended retirement allowance equals your excess earnings.
