Why a new pension system?

The old pension system worked well for many 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 But now it is outdated.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

StiPP's new pension scheme

In the new pension system, all employees will accrue pension in a defined contribution scheme. StiPP already has a premium scheme. This means that you will continue to accrue pension in the same way. However, the StiPP pension scheme will be adjusted on a number of important points. This has been determined jointly by employers' organisations (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. Together with your employer, you will also pay more pension contributions for this.
  • 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 schemes will be terminated.
