KPMG Law on Air: Company pension schemes in times of inflation

In view of high inflation, it is not only trade unions that are demanding more collectively agreed wages. Pension beneficiaries are also asking themselves the question: How does the devaluation of money affect the company pension scheme (baV)? Depending on the implementation method and the type of commitment, both the beneficiaries and the companies can suffer.

When and how must the utility be adjusted? What options do employers have to change a pension commitment that has already been made? These and other questions are answered by Christine Hansen, a specialist in employment law with a focus on occupational pension schemes and a senior manager at KPMG Law, in our new podcast episode.

In our podcasts, our experts provide information on legal issues that companies are looking for answers to today and in the future. The focus will be on important topics such as digital transformation, compliance & governance, new work, ESG and future of law as well as other current legal developments and practical tips for implementation.

Learn what your company should consider today to ensure it is well positioned tomorrow.
