Occupational pensions
An occupational pension is an important supplement to the national pension. The occupational pension agreement for those working in the state, PA 16, has been negotiated by the trade unions in the state sector (OFR/S,P,O, Saco-S, SEKO) together with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers.
You can find information about the occupational pension agreement in the right-hand column.
More pay means more occupational pension
How much you receive in occupational pension depends, among other things, on how much you earn. It can be useful to consider whether you take overtime in leave or money, for example. When you start working also plays a role in how much you earn throughout your working life.
Your occupational pension is also affected by various life events and the choices you make.
Choose how to manage part of it
Every month, Uppsala University pays money into different parts of your occupational pension, and you choose how one of the parts should be managed. You only need to choose if you want to. If you do not make your own choice, your money is placed in a traditional insurance policy without repayment cover with Kåpan Pensioner. If you want to change your choice, you can do so.
To make your choice, log in to your pension pages at SPV. There you can read more and get guidance on your choice.
If you become ill, you can receive disability pension
If you receive sickness benefit or activity compensation from Försäkringskassan, SPV also pays you money. The part that SPV pays out is called disability pension. If you receive sickness benefit from Försäkringskassan, you are not entitled to a disability pension from SPV.
Money for your family if you die
If you die, your family may receive money. The money may come from, for example, an occupational group life insurance policy, a survivor's pension or a repayment cover.
If you stop working for the state
If you leave government employment, the occupational pension you have earned remains. SPV takes care of your occupational pension until it is time for you to retire.
Your occupational pension is different depending on when you were born
The year you were born affects what your occupational pension looks like. Generally speaking, if you were born before 1988, you belong to Title II of the occupational pension agreement PA 16. If you were born in 1988 or later, you belong to Title I.
