You have changed employer and have recently joined Vita. If you were already working prior to registering with Vita and have saved pension fund assets, you as an employee are responsible for ensuring that the retirement assets you have already saved are transferred from the previous pension plan to Vita. The procedure differs depending on the pension planning solution.
If you have recently joined Vita Invest or Vita Select, please request the deposit slip designated for the pension fund from your employer directly or call us on 0800 80 80 80.
If you do not inform your previous employer's pension plan where your saved retirement savings capital should be transferred to within six weeks of your leaving, it is required by law to transfer your departure payment to the auxiliary fund foundation. In this case, a vested benefits account will be opened in your name with the foundation. The auxiliary fund foundation manages occupational pension assets transferred by pension plans on behalf of The Confederation, should no notification be received. You can find further information about the foundation here.
If you do not know where your departure payment from previous pension plans is located, you can ask the pillar 2 central office. The pillar 2 central office is the connection point between the pension plans and the insurance.
As an employer you have an obligation to give your pension fund notice of your employees' leaving if the employment relationship ends. The saved funds from the occupational pension plan must be transferred to the new employer's pension fund. If employees do not join a new pension fund or have already joined one, the leaving payment is transferred to the vested benefit policy or a vested benefit account. In the case of leavings or retirements during the year, all premiums are due on the leaving date.
As soon as we have received notification of your leaving and the full payment details, we will transfer the funds and confirm this for you by mail. Please note that we can only process leavings from the reference date, and that the leaving payment can only be made after your effective leaving has been processed.
