Definition

The Pension Insurance Indicator field controls the calculation, assignment, and deduction of social insurance contributions.

Use

The Pension Insurance Indicator is a supplement to the official contribution group key and is only used internally.

As a result of the organizational reform that took effect January 1, 2005, there is no longer any differentiation between pension insurance for hourly workers and pension insurance for salaried employees. You should now only use the PI indicators for the previous salaried workers' insurance.

0: No insurance liability

When employees are coded with indicator 0, no PI contributions are calculated in payroll accounting.

Set the indicator to 0 for the following person groups (among others):

  • Temporarily employed persons
  • Pensioners who do not have an SI-liable second job

1: Full contribution

Set the indicator to 1 for employees who are fully liable for pension insurance contributions.

Prior to the reform, you set 1 for hourly workers who were fully liable for pension insurance contributions.

2: Full contribution for salaried employee

Indicator 2 is no longer used.

Prior to the reform, you set 2 for salaried employees who were fully liable for pension insurance contributions.

3: Half contribution

Set the indicator to 3 for employees who receive a full old-age pension, receive other pension benefits, or receive benefits from a professionals pension scheme. To prevent competitive advantages, the employer must only deduct the employer's share.

Before the reform, indicator 3 was used when the employer had to contribute to the hourly worker's pension insurance organization.

4: Half contribution for salaried employee

Indicator 4 is no longer used.

Before the reform, indicator 4 was used when the employer had to contribute to the salaried employee's pension insurance.

5: Exempt

Set the indicator to 5 for employees who are exempt from insurance liability for pension insurance.

Set the indicator to 5 for the following person groups (among others):

  • Employees who are members of a professionals pension scheme (doctors, press workers, and so on).
  • Those exempt from pension insurance obligation because they have a private life insurance policy
  • Employees who are exempt from PI due to §5 Para.1 No.2 in connection with §5 Para.1 Clause 2 SGB VI. No infotype 0079 with subtype2 or infotype 0126 with subtype 2 can be created.

6: Flat rate contribution for salaried employee

Indicator 6 is no longer used.

Before the reform, you set the indicator to 6 for employees for which a flat-rate employer's contribution to the salaried employee's pension insurance was deducted.

7: Flat rate contribution

You set the indicator to 7 for employees for which merely a flat rate employer contribution to pension insurance is deducted.

Before the reform, you set the indicator to 7 for employees for which a flat rate employer contribution to pension insurance for hourly workers was deducted.

8: Flat rate employer, rest salaried employee

Indicator 8 is no longer used.

Before the reform, you set indicator 8 for employees who waived their PI exemption. Contributions were paid to the salaried employee's pension insurance organization. Indicator 2 was used prior to April 1, 2003.

9: Flat rate employer, rest employee

When the indicator is set to 9, a flat rate employer contribution is deducted along with an employee contribution (which is calculated as the full contribution minus the employer contribution) to pension insurance.

Before the reform, you set indicator 9 for employees who waived their PI exemption. Contributions were paid to the hourly workers' pension insurance organization. Indicator 1 was used prior to April 1, 2003.
