If a person earns more than CHF 84'600.-, insurance of the amount over CHF 84'600.- is non-mandatory insurance. It is not obligatory to insure this amount, whereas it is obligatory to insure up to CHF 84'600.-.

Insuring the non-mandatory part is appropriate for many employees as this will ultimately result in greater retirement assets. The “Fondation 2ème pilier swissstaffing” pension fund provides non-mandatory insurance for both temporary and permanent employees.
