In order to replicate the company and state-sponsored private old-age provision of the statutory pension, the legislature has drawn clear limits. As far as the security of capital investments and solvency until the death of savers are concerned, this is by all means a tight corset for private providers. It has long been discussed that these restrictive requirements cost potential returns. However, these restrictions also provide special protection for these forms of savings from access by the state and other people. This became apparent on Wednesday when the judges at the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt had to decide how to deal with deferred compensation after a divorce. There had been different views on this in the lower courts. For the federal labor judges, however, it was clear:If an employee saves to the extent specified by law with the support of her employer, her former partner is not entitled to it as part of a garnishment income. The company pension scheme is extremely important, which can even exceed justified claims from an asset equalization between divorced people. All those who have opted for a pension with the help of salary components can be pleased about this judgment. Because it makes it clear that retirement provision cannot easily be put into perspective.which may even have justified claims from an asset equalization between divorced people.
