Employer’s pension insurance i.e. TyEL
As an employer, you need to take out earnings-related pension insurance if you employ at least one person on a permanent basis and pay at least EUR 9,348 (in 2023) in wages or salaries during a period of six months (EUR 9,006 in 2022). If you are a temporary employer, you only have to pay the earnings-related pension contribution.
TyEL insurance provides pension security for your employees
When you hire an employee, take out TyEL insurance and report the earnings data to the Incomes Register regardless of whether you are a long-term or temporary employer. Household employers also need to provide pension insurance for their employees. With TyEL insurance you take care of your employees’ pension cover. That is why TyEL insurance is statutory, i.e. mandatory.
When does an employee need to be insured?
Take out TyEL insurance, when your employee meets the following three conditions
- he or she is in an employment relationship,
- he or she is aged between 17–67 and
- you pay him or her at least EUR 66.26 per month in 2023 (62.88 in 2022).
How much does TYEL insurance cost?
The TyEL contribution is determined based on the earnings payment reports made to the Incomes Register. The TyEL contribution is a percentage of the salaries and wages that you pay to your employees as an employer. The client bonus reduces your insurance contribution. It is based on Ilmarinen’s solvency and the efficiency of our operations. You receive the client bonus when your TyEL insurance is in force with Ilmarinen and you are a so-called contract employer. The employer does not pay the TyEL contribution alone; employees also pay their share of it.
Contract employer or temporary employer?
In pension matters, employers are always either contract employers or temporary employers. You can also be a household employer if you hire, for example, a cleaner, an au pair or another employee to work at your home.
