contribution to pension insurance. The employer only has to pay a flat

Insurance). This employment results in an increase to the pension.
However, the low-earning employed pensioner can waiver his exemption
from pension insurance by making a declaration to the employer. This
waiver may only be effective in the future and for the duration of the
