Navigating the new Dutch pension landscape: What employers need to know about the Wet toekomst pensioenen (Wtp)

The Dutch pension landscape is undergoing a transformation with the introduction of the Wet toekomst pensioenen (Wtp), which came into effect on 1 July 2023. With approximately 90% of employers in the Netherlands currently operating pension schemes, highlighting the importance of understanding these changes.

The Wtp mandates a transition from defined benefit to defined contributions pension scheme models, requiring age-independent contributions. Under this model, the benefits accrued depend on defined contributions, investment returns, and longevity. While defined or guaranteed benefits are phased out. The accrual method of survivor’s pension benefits also changes under the Wpt.

In this webinar, we will cover essential topics including:

• Key aspects of the Wtp transition period: understand the milestones for employers over the next few years including the existing Pension Schemes, the new Pension Schemes, and Transition Options.
• Options from pension providers: explore potential solutions for current employees and employees withing the transition period.
• Next steps for employers: learn about compliance, consultation, and beyond.

Our Dutch Employment Law team will not only cover the theoretical aspects but will also give practical insights. By sharing our experiences of handling various pension cases, we aim to provide you with actionable insights that can be applied directly to your organization.

The interactive session is scheduled for Tuesday, 11 November 2025, and we encourage you to join us for what promises to be an engaging and practical discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there.
