Vitality pact scheme

Vitality pact scheme

The vitality pact scheme is intended by the university to allow you to reach pension age in good health. Read here what the scheme entails.

Structure of the scheme

If you have a full time contract and you are five years or less away from pension age, you are entitled to shorten your working week to a working week of three or four days. In case you have a part-time contract, you can do so in equal proportion. Depending on the scheme you choose, you will receive one or two days of special leave per week and your salary will be adapted according to your new working scheme in the context of this arrangement. If you are in scale 1 to 7 and you are working 4 days, you will receive 90% of your current gross salary. In case you are working 3 days, this will be 80%. If you are in scale 8 or above and you are working 4 days, you will receive 85% of your current gross salary. In case you are working 3 days, this will be 70%. You will also retain five weeks of leave. Your pension accrual will remain unchanged, although you will receive fewer days leave since you are working fewer days. Further details can be found in Article 6.13 of the collective labour agreement CAO-NU.

Conditions for participating

You can start to participate in the scheme from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021. The conditions for participating can be found in Art. 6.15 of the collective labour agreement CAO-NU. The manner in which the shorter working week is scheduled can be found in Art. 6.14.
