  • Your employees can choose whether to continue making all contributions, make no contributions or only make the risk contributions during the period of unpaid leave.

  • The savings capital will continue to accrue interest throughout the period of unpaid leave.

  • The funding of unpaid leave is regulated in your company’s occupational benefits plan.

  • If your employees do not make any more contributions to their occupational benefits during the period of unpaid leave, the insurance cover will end one month after the last payment of contributions (subsequent coverage period).
