Why a new pension system?

The content of this page has been translated automatically.

The old pension system worked well for years. But now it is outdated. That is why the trade unions, employers and the government have jointly drawn up new rules for pensions. The aim is to make the pension system more open, personal and future-proof. 

A number of strengths of the current pension system remain:

  • You continue to accrue pension through your employer
  • You will receive a pension for as long as you live
  • The state pension through the government remains

The new StiPP pension scheme

In the new pension system, all employees will accrue pension in a defined contribution scheme. StiPP already has a contribution scheme. So you continue to accrue pension in the same way. However, StiPP's pension scheme will be adjusted on a number of important points. This has been determined jointly by employers' organizations (ABU and NBBU) and the trade unions (FNV, CNV Vakmensen and De Unie).

The result is:

  • A pension scheme that fits the market
  • A pension scheme in which you will accrue more pension. You will also pay more pension contributions together with your employer
  • A pension scheme that complies with the Future Pensions Act
  • There will be one new pension scheme for all (temporary) employees in the sector. The Basic and Plus Scheme will be terminated
