Pension (occupational pension) / “betriebliche Altersvorsorge” (bAV)

Pension plan offered by the employer to provide colleagues with additional financial security in retirement. It allows individuals to save a portion of their salary into a pension scheme, which can then be accessed during retirement years.

The pension scheme is supported by Allianz. To request a review and/ or changes, contact Kai Kolepka at [email protected].

Conditions:

New hires and current colleagues without a pension have the opportunity to join the bAV (DS pension scheme) which will be made up of two parts: 

  1. Employee contribution (through salary sacrifice, details explained in the Allianz microsite shared below)

  2. Employer contribution - matched 20% of the employee contribution

New hires and current colleagues with an existing pension plan have the following choices:

  1. Do nothing and maintain the current pension arrangements

  2. Request that Allianz review your current arrangements and whether you are benefiting from the DS employer contribution at the matched 20% rate

  3. Request to move your pension arrangements to the Allianz (DS pension scheme)
