The following applies to schemes under the old pension system:
Contribution costs (excluding administration costs) up to 15% of the total wage bill on an annual basis are payable by your employer.
Your contribution is determined collectively and not individually and is for each employee at the employer in question an equal percentage of their pension base.
You pay up to half the contribution costs above 15% of the wage bill.
The limit of 15% of the wage bill does not apply to employers that already reached agreement before 10 March 2005 with the representative body or the participants’ council on an own contributionbased scheme with a lower limit.
If you participate in the 80-80-100 scheme, your contribution to the pension scheme will be calculated in the same manner with the proviso that the calculation of the maximum contribution is based on the pension base corresponding to the working hours that applied before participating in the 80-80-100 scheme.
The following applies to a flat-contribution scheme under the new pension system:
The employer will pay all the costs of a flat contribution up to that stipulated in Article 11.9. The employer may agree with the representative body on a higher level for the flat contribution than the minimum contributions mentioned in Article 11.9. In that case, up to half of the excess contribution is paid by the employee.
