Pension payments

Application and payment made simple

The time has come, and retirement is just around the corner. Now is the time to claim your Company Pension - it's easy.

How it works

01

Application

Approximately 3-4 months before retirement, you apply for your state pension and, if you have not already done so, inform the HR department.

02

Pension approval certificate

As soon as you receive your pension approval certificate, send a copy of the first two pages to your HR department.

03

Notification

You will be notified of your entitlement under the company pension plan in the month before retirement.

Payment date

Taxes and social security

Benefits paid abroad

Payment date

The Company Pension will be paid retrospectively at the end of the month following the start of your retirement.

Taxes and social security

Taxes and social security contributions are levied on the Company Pension benefits when they are paid out. The amount paid to you will therefore be lower than the amount calculated. Please contact your tax accountant for more details.

Benefits paid abroad

Retirement in the sunshine? No problem. Payments abroad are possible! If you move your permanent residence abroad, you must send a so-called life certificate once a year in order to continue receiving your pension.
Payments are made monthly within the EU and quarterly outside the EU.
