Expirability

If you leave Fresenius and haven't yet used your Compensatory Time Account for a leave of absence, you will not lose your credit balance from own contributions. It can either be transferred to a new employer, into your statutory pension fund or paid out to you directly. If you leave the company due to incapacity, you will receive a payout of the the total credit balance. In the event of your death, your heirs will receive a payout. If you retire and your Compensatory Time Account has not been used, the existing credit balance will be paid out to you in full. Please note the regulations for the tariff modules.

Taxes & social security

Your own contributions are exempt from tax and social security when paid in. This also reduces your gross income. Only salary payments during a leave of absence are subject to tax and social security contributions.
