The partial pension agreement for government employees from 2003 has meant a favourable option for government employees to have a flexible working life before full retirement. In May 2023, the partial pension agreement was terminated and ceases to apply as of 1 January 2024. However, the agreement will continue to apply for those born in 1965 or earlier.
Granting of partial pensions will be more restrictive
The University’s new guidelines mean a more restrictive position than before regarding the granting of partial pensions. The basic rule will be that a partial pension of up to 20 per cent will be granted and that a higher percentage will only be considered if a special reason applies (e.g. the employee’s health or long-term sustainability) and is justified in the application.
More generous when nearing full retirement age
The guidelines also entail a more restrictive position regarding younger partial pensioners but become progressively more generous as the employee nears the full retirement age.
