Help with pensions

Here we’ve brought together some useful information for our pension scheme customers

The Portal

What will I find in the portal?

  • You’ll find the pension and personnel insurance portal in the corporate online bank.

    The portal gives an overall view of:

    • pension agreement
    • Invoicing
    • annual costs.
    • Reports

    The portal is available in both English and Norwegian.

How do I manage access to the portal?

  • Access to the portal is granted via the form:

    User access (PDF, Norwegian)

    The completed form should be sent by regular post to:
    DNB Livsforsikring AS PO Box 7500 5020 Bergen

    Access can also be given to the managing director, person with signature rights and/or power of procuration registered in Brønnøysund via phone or chat.

Update employee information

  • You can easily update the information about your employees by logging in to the portal.

    You can update the FTE fraction or salary in two ways:

    1. Direct update: Recommended for businesses that have few updates during the year, and which don’t have more that 20 updates at once.
    2. Updating with an Excel file: Recommended for businesses that have several updates during the year, and more than 20 updates at once. This method is also suitable for companies that conduct an annual central pay settlement. A standard Excel file is downloaded in the corporate internet bank, changed and then uploaded again in the portal.
    3. File transfer: submitting files from the payroll system. Using a file transfer from the payroll system, DNB receives payroll data by uploading an FNH Industry standard file to the portal. To get started with file transfers, call us on +47 23 02 11 72. You can read more about file transfers in the user guide.

Invoicing

Where is the invoice documentation for the EHF invoice?

  • You can find the invoice documentation in the inbox in the pension agreement portal.

How do I find a bank statement/annual statement?

How to find a bank statement or annual statement, which is an overview of the amount paid to the pension agreement

  • Select Other Services on the tab

  • Then click Pension and employee insurance

    Administrative agreements

  • . Select Reports on the left-hand side of the menu, select the type of report and click Invoice history

  • Select desired format and date range

  • Enter a desired period

Tips

Remember this when submitting annual accounts.

How often is the company invoiced?

  • Invoices are sent once a month, 14 days before the due date. This applies to AvtaleGiro, EHF invoices and giros.

  • The invoice must be paid every month. Then your employees will have the money paid into the pension account.

    The advantage of monthly payments is:

    • Spread the risk – employees are less exposed to fluctuations in the market.
    • Monthly return on deposited money
  • Unfortunately it is not possible to change the invoicing period. Monthly invoicing is the only option.

What are the management and administrative expenses?

  • Management expenses

    These are costs that employers pay for us to manage the money for employees and the company’s deposit and premium fund.

  • Administrative expenses

    These are costs you pay for us to manage the agreement you have with us.

What is a deposit and premium fund?

All businesses have a contribution and premium fund. When the company makes too many contributions, this is transferred to the contribution and premium fund.

  • We will make a transfer to the contribution and premium fund if:

    • you have made extra payments or double payments;
    • you have removed an employee from the agreement retroactively.

Tips

The defined-contribution fund can be used to cover the deposits on your next invoice. Premium funds can be used to cover the risk premium on the next invoice.

How can I see that invoices have been paid?

  • You can easily see a summary of your invoices by logging in to the portal.

  • If payment is not received, you will receive two payment reminders after two weeks and six weeks after the original due date.

  • If the invoice is still not paid, we will automatically cancel the agreement.

Questions and answers

Which salary should I state for my employees?

The main rule for salaried employees is that the annual wage including holiday pay should form the basis for reporting to the pension scheme. As a rule, overtime pay, bonuses and other benefits should be held outside the salary basis. The rules that apply to your business are specified in the pension agreement.

For employees on an hourly wage, the annual salary is calculated as the number of hours a FTE in the company corresponds to, plus holiday pay.

Independent business owners who don’t receive a salary should state the calculated personal income as the salary basis.

Freelancers who haven’t registered their own company should state their salary/fees as the salary basis.

Why can’t I remove a person who is not fully able to work?

This is because the person in question may have a disorder that leads to being incapacitated for work. A person who becomes incapacitated for work will continue to be part of the savings for a retirement pension.

The individual may also be able to claim a disability pension if the company has set this up.
