For employees: Entry

What do you need to do when you start a new job?

Your employer registers you with their pension fund. If you were already insured under the second pillar before you started your new job, the pension assets you saved must be transferred to us by your previous pension fund.

Who is subject to obligatory OPA pension contributions?

• Employees who have reached the age of 17.
• The annual salary subject to OASI contributions is more than CHF 22,680 (as of 2025).
• The employment relationship is permanent or lasts more than 3 months in the case of a fixed-term contract.
• Employees who are not already covered by an occupational pension scheme in another (primary) occupation.
