What happens to the pension scheme when an employee goes on leave?

Usually, insurance covers continue when an employee goes on leave. However, the pension savings depend on whether the leave is with or without pay. 
Have a conversation with the employee about whether the pension scheme should continue or be put on hold. Please note that the options depend on the type of agreement the employee has and the type of leave they are taking. 

 
Checklist

• Investigate whether the employee’s leave is with or without pay.
• Discuss the options with the employee.
• Inform them that they may be able to receive additional guidance from your contact person at Velliv or by calling our Customer Centre.
• If the leave is with pay and full pension contributions, you do not need to notify us. In this case, the pension scheme will continue unchanged. 
• If the leave is without pay, you must notify us of when it starts and ends. Simply log in to Pensionsportalen and register the employee’s leave.
