You have the opportunity to enter retirement in phases between the ages of 58 and 70. Semi-retirement occurs in up to three steps, whereby you must reduce your work load and salary in each partial step by at least 20%. Retirement benefits may be claimed either in whole or in part as capital for the individual stages of partial retirement.
Please note that you can't increase your remaining degree of employment again in the case of partial retirement.
Since cantonal tax authorities impose higher minimum stages in specific cases (e.g. Kanton Zurich imposes a minimum stage of 30%), we recommend that you consult your tax authority.
Furthermore, you can withdraw capital from your retirement assets in a maximum of two of the three possible retirement phases.
It is no longer possible to purchase benefits in the pension fund once you have taken semi-retirement. An exception is re-purchases in the case of divorce.
Please inform your employer about your partial retirement so that they can inform us.
We will receive a corresponding form from your employer. As soon as we have it, we will send you all further information directly by mail.
