Home Our pension fund New pension rules

New pension system

New rules for pensions have been in effect since 1 July 2023. These new rules are included in the Future Pensions Act. Because of these new rules, your pension plan will change. The new pension plan is scheduled to take effect on January 1st, 2027. Should there be any setbacks, we may have until January 1st, 2028 – the legal deadline for implementation.

The details of the new pension plan at Mars Pension Fund have yet to be decided, but on this page you can already find a lot of information about what you can expect.

What is the current situation?

Pension is an employment condition. This means that the employer (Mars) and the Works Councils have made agreements about the new pension plan. These agreements have been recorded in the Transition Plan. For example, the records say what the new pension plan will look like, how high the contributions will be, how the retirement pension and orphan's pension will be arranged.

The pension fund is now assessing the feasibility of the Transition Plan and examining whether the agreements are understandable, balanced and feasible. Only then can we accept the assignment from Mars and the Works Council to implement the new pension plan. Of course we will let you know when that moment has arrived.
