Timeline of new pension scheme

Pension funds have until 1 January 2028 to switch to a new pension scheme. The social partners and StiPP aim to switch to the new pension scheme as of 1 January 2026.

• Employers and employees (social partners) in the temporary employment and secondment sector make agreements about the new StiPP pension scheme. In November 2023, social partners reached an agreement on renewing the pension scheme.
• StiPP is currently working with social partners to further develop the pension scheme. Social partners draw up a transition plan. The transition plan sets out what the scheme will look like in detail and how the transition to the new scheme will go.
• In 2024, StiPP will assess whether it can implement the new pension scheme. It is important that the pension scheme and the transition to the new pension scheme are balanced, feasible and explainable. Balanced means that the new regulation does not strongly favour or disadvantage groups.
• After the assessment of the new pension scheme, StiPP draws up a plan stating how it will implement the new pension scheme. This plan will be submitted to the Dutch Central Bank for approval. StiPP will arrange this in 2024 but no later than 1 July 2025.
• In the coming years, StiPP will inform you about the new scheme, about what you received in the old pension scheme and what you are expected to receive in the new pension scheme.

Once the agreements about the new pension scheme are known, StiPP will introduce the new pension scheme. It is expected that this implementation will take 2 years.

StiPP aims to transition to the new pension scheme as of 1 January 2026.

From 1 January 2028, the new rules will apply to everyone. All pension funds must have switched to the new pension system.
