What do I do about occupational pension for an employee on probation?

If you have a probationary employee in your company, questions about occupational pensions and other insurance may arise. For companies covered by collective agreements, the general rule is that the probationer should have the same benefits as the rest of the company's employees.

Companies without a collective agreement offering occupational pensions have negotiated their pension contract directly with a pension company. For this reason, there are no general requirements regarding insurance and occupational pension during probationary periods. In these cases, it is up to you as the employer to decide which benefits apply to the probationary period.
