ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN COMPANY PENSION SCHEMES. The parties agree that it is essential that the administrative costs of company pension schemes are responsible and that costs should be kept at an appropri- ately low level.

Guide to changing pension provider The following rules shall apply for changing pension provider. Companies covered by a collective agreement that wish to change their pension provider may do so. However, this does not apply to companies which have previously had pension agreements with FunktionærPension, or which are otherwise covered by the FunktionærPension portfolio in Pension for salaried 55 employees – PFA Pension. Finally, companies that have not already entered into a pension scheme prior to entering into the collective agreement and which are thus covered by Pension for Salaried Employees on accession of the collective agreement, cannot change their pension provider unless the parties come to an agreement on this. The conditions for changing pension provider are: • A vote on the change of pension provider must take place among the em- ployees entitled to pension at the company. • The company must inform employees about the details and consequences of a possible change. If a majority of the votes cast are in favour of a change of provider, this can take place. • When changing provider, the conditions set out in the collective agreement must be met. These conditions are that there must be disability and death cover of at least DKK 60,000.00 and an old-age pension. • The transfer of the employees' deposits in connection with a switch must be done at no cost to the employees. Thus, no deductions may be made from the deposits – neither at the transferring nor the receiving company. It is often the company that takes the initiative to switch pension providers, pos- sibly at the request of employees. It is important for employees that the process of changing pension provider is carried out in a safe and secure manner.
