Life course regulation

Under this scheme employees save part of their gross salary to finance a period of unpaid leave in the future. This leave can be used for childcare, care, a sabbatical, study or early retirement. The aim of the scheme is to make the combination of work and private life easier for employees.
Employees who participate in the life course scheme may not participate in the salary savings scheme at the same time. Every year employees may choose whether to participate in the life course scheme or the savings scheme.
