Escalating contributions. For new members that at the start of their membership have an existing company pen- sion scheme at a higher level than 20% of the contributions to be paid under the col- lective agreement but a lower level than the full amount of the contribution the following applies: • The escalating period will commence at the start of the membership and will run independently of the enterprise’s existing pension scheme. • Employees who are already employed will continue with the agreed amounts of con- tribution in the enterprise’s existing pension scheme. However, contributions must always be at the same level as a minimum as the escalating contributions. • Employees who are employed after the start of the membership are entitled to the same pension contributions as employees who were employed prior to the member- ship. • It is a condition for escalating contributions for employees covered by the collective agreement that the employee in question is a member of Industriens Pension. New members of DI that have not already established a company pension scheme for the employees within the agreement area or that have a pension scheme with lower contributions for such employees may demand that the pension contribution be deter- mined as follows: • From the time of DI's notice to NNF on the enterprise's entry into DI, at the latest, the employer contribution and the employee contribution, respectively, must make up at least 20% of the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement. After one year, at the latest, the contributions must make up at least 40% of the con- tributions to be paid under the collective agreement. After two years, at the latest, the contributions must make up at least 60% of the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement. After three years, at the latest, the contributions must make up at least 80% of the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement. After four years, at the latest, the contributions must make up the full amount of the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement. If the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement are increased during the period, the enterprise's contribution must be increased pro rata to ensure that the share of the contributions to be paid under the collective agreement is always paid into the pension scheme.
