The new pension legislation will enforce significant changes to the Dutch pension landscape. All companies will have to act on the following components:
- All pension plans must be defined contribution going forward
- For new hires, a plan with a flat rate contribution is mandatory
- Survivor’s pension will have to change
Note: consent and potentially compensation is needed for all changes.
