The social partners are close to an agreement on the draft transition plan for the ING pension scheme. The plan is to finalise the draft in the first week of November.
What is the transition plan
In the transition plan, the social partners implement the Future Pensions Act (Wtp). The following matters are regulated in it:
- New pension scheme for ING employees.
- New survivors' pension scheme.
- Compensation scheme.
- Transfer of the entitlements accrued in the ING CDC pension fund to the new scheme (transfer).
- Allocation of the reserves in the ING CDC pension fund.
- Adjustment of the closed pension fund (PFI) to the Wtp.
- Transfer of the entitlements accrued in the PFI to the Wtp PFI scheme (intrashipment).
- Allocation of reserves in PFI.
