Entering the company

Joining a new pension fund

When joining a new company you become affiliated with a new pension fund. If you already made contributions to an occupational benefit scheme in a previous job, you are entitled to the assets from it, known as termination or vested benefits. These must be paid in to the new pension fund.

Leaving a company

When leaving a company you also leave its pension fund. You are entitled to the termination or vested benefits.

Case 1: You join a new pension fund

If you start a new job at a different company, you will join that company's pension fund. The vested benefits will thus be transferred from the old to the new occupational benefits institution.

Case 2: You need a vested benefits solution

If you are temporarily unemployed (e.g. owing to further education, becoming a parent, a stay abroad, unemployment) and do not yet know who your next employer will be, the pension fund assets must be transferred to a vesting institution by law. This means that your benefit cover in the 2nd pillar is retained. You can also transfer your savings to a vesting institution if you take up self-employment and are no longer subject to the occupational benefit scheme.
