(17.1 % for employees under the Agreement for Publicly Employed University Graduates)

According to the appendix of 17th June 2016 to the Agreement for Publicly Employed University Graduates, I hereby ask to have my pension contribution of 17.1 % be paid as salary.

Exemption effective from (month/year)[2]:

The pension contribution will be paid out as additional salary and will be taxed according to your current taxation.

Eligibility

To have your pension contribution paid out as salary, you must meet the following requirements set out in the above-mentioned agreement:

  • You must be employedunder the current“Agreement for Publicly Employed University Graduates with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations”.
  • You must be employed at Aalborg University in a research/teaching position.
  • You must be employed on a fix-termed contract of no more than 5 years at Aalborg University.
  • You must hold a non-Danish citizenship.
  • You must be recruited from outside of Denmark or from another Danish university/public research institution.

Insurance

When you choose to have your pension contribution paid out as salary, Aalborg University will deduct an amount of DKK 108.35 as an insurance premium to Forenede Gruppeliv (group life insurance for public employees). The mandatory group life insurance is a basic insurance in case of critical illness or death.

Please be aware that paying into a pension fund often entitles you to further insurance, i.e. disability insurance (should you lose some or all of your ability to work) and insurance for partner/children (giving remaining family additional financial benefits in case of your untimely death). We recommend that you go through your current insurances and decide if you might want to take further insurance.

Discontinuation of the exemption of pension contribution

You can choose to end the pension exemption and have your pension contribution paid into a pension fund. Please look for the appropriate form at the homepage of Human Resources, Aalborg University.

As stated in the agreement, employees can only be exempted from paying into a pension fund for a total of 5 years (6 years if agreed by AAU and the trade union). If this limit is reached during your employment, AAU will automatically cease the pay out of the pension contribution and start paying the contribution into a pension fund.

Date and signature

When the Declaration has been signed, it is to be sent to Human Resources, Fredrik Bajers Vej 7F, 9220 Aalborg Øst.
