As of 1 January 2021 a change will be made in the funding of pension accrual in the event of full occupational disability. As requested by the pension fund, the employer has paid a purchase sum for the pension accrual of those employees now suffering full occupational disability.
The employer will pay a risk premium for the future. This change in funding means that a provision can be built up, implying that the pension accrual for employees who are unable to work due to full occupational disability can be continued, also in the event that the employer is unable to pay the premium to the fund at any time in the future for whatever reason. Without this change in funding, pension accrual would terminate for employees with full occupational disability.
We are expected to implement the new pension scheme from January 1, 2026. We are preparing for this, so that this transition is done carefully. For example, in 2024 we switched to a new pension administration system. In this administration system, we can administer our current and future pension scheme. In short: with this administration system we are ready for the future.
Your pension scheme will change from January 1, 2026. In the coming months, we will explain the new pension scheme to you in small pieces. This time: the change in the way we build up pension.
