Your employer makes pension provisions for all its employees, with no age threshold, comprising a retirement pension, partner’s pension, and orphans’ pension.
Your employer is obliged to make pension provisions that at least comply with the terms of this pension protocol. The pension agreements in the CLA have the nature of a minimum framework. Each employer may, in consultation with the representative body, make additional choices regarding pensions, provided that the minimum agreements of this CLA are met.
As part of the introduction of the Future Pensions Act (Wet toekomst pensioenen), CLA parties agreed pension agreements as from 1 April 2024 that are based on the statutory frameworks that apply to various types of pension schemes.
The decision on when to transition to the new pension system will be left to the employer in consultation with the representative body, with the prevailing end date of the statutory transition period being the latest transition deadline.
In consultation with the representative body, the employer may choose to make use of the statutory transitional right (non-retroactive effect) for existing employees, subject to the conditions of Section 220e of the Pensions Act [Pensioenwet].
