In AGEFI: Part-time and temporary work pose new challenges for the BVG

Part-time work, hourly wages and temporary assignments have become the norm in many industries. In the current specialist article in AGEFI, Alain Grand, Specialist manager in Pension solutions at Tellco, explains the impact this development has on occupational pension provision and why SMEs in particular should take a closer look at it.

The BVG is still geared towards stable salaries and continuous employment. In practice, this leads to complex challenges with flexible working models.

Where it becomes challenging in everyday practice

Variable workloads, fixed-term assignments and frequent changes bring additional requirements in the implementation of occupational pension provision. For employers, this means, among other things: more complex processes and increased administrative effort. Especially with limited resources, this can quickly become a challenge.

 

Why it is worth taking a closer look

The topic does not only affect processes, but also transparency towards employees and the perception as an employer. At the same time, the question arises as to whether existing solutions still fit today’s working reality. This is exactly where the specialist article comes in: it highlights typical stumbling blocks and discusses approaches to simplify implementation.

 

Insight rather than depth of detail

The article does not provide blanket answers, but rather categorises the development and offers food for thought for employers working with flexible employment models. The specific approaches that arise from this and what SMEs in particular should pay attention to are explored in more depth in the specialist article.
