In a ruling rendered on November 13, 2007, the federal labour court gave satisfaction to an employee whose firm was bought off. It gave him the right to preserve the level of his company pension scheme (Betriebsrente) negotiated with his first employer, independently from the company agreement negotiated with the new employer. (Ref. 070955)
For the federal labour court, the subject of the “Betriebsrente”, the company private pension scheme which employers can propose to their employees (mandatory in some sectors), does not entirely depend on the rules set by the collective or company agreements.
