My pension plan at PUBLICA

The ENSI pension plan

Whether you are an active or former employee, this page offers a wealth of useful information about your pension plan: the name of your contact, the members of your parity commission, your interest rates, savings contributions and plan type (standard/management), as well the pension plan’s key figures and legal basis.

Also worth knowing

There is no entry threshold for the ENSI pension plan. You can join whatever your salary level. Another advantage is that, as your employer, the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate will pay the risk premium in full. 
In addition, you can make voluntary savings contributions to top up your pillar 2 retirement assets. You can choose between two voluntary options and simulate them on myPublica.

Current funded ratio

As at 31.12.2023 the regulatory funded ratio stands at 101.4%.

Contributions for pension plan types

Active members and their employers pay contributions based on the insured salary to fund retirement, disability and death benefits. The savings contributions vary, depending on the pension plan type (standard/management) and age. You can also make additional, voluntary savings contributions to top up your retirement assets. Depending on your plan type (standard/management), you can choose from a number of percentage options for your voluntary savings contributions.
