What advantages does bAV training offer you?

The topic of company pension schemes (bAV) is of great importance to companies today. Occupational pension schemes are very complex and involve liability scenarios that should not be underestimated, as there are constant changes and adjustments as well as different special regulations. It is often difficult to maintain an overview here, especially with regard to the different ways of implementing occupational pension schemes. Special occupational pension seminars offer an ideal opportunity to build up and develop know-how.

In our occupational pension seminars and webinars, experts with practical experience not only impart the necessary specialist knowledge, but above all support the transfer to everyday business life. Many case studies on, for example, deferred compensation or occupational pension schemes, checklists, exercises and specific recommendations for action make the practice tangible.

 

Basics or structure - what is the right bAV training or bAV webinar for me?

Depending on your individual prior knowledge and personal goals for occupational pension training, you can choose from a range of occupational pension seminars. In order to be generally well-positioned and well-informed on the topic of occupational pension schemes, we recommend attending a seminar or an occupational pension scheme webinar on the basics of occupational pension schemes in order to gain a general overview of the occupational pension schemes, deferred compensation and options for occupational pension schemes. The basic knowledge provided in this bAV training gives you all the information you need to correctly process and check the bAV in Payroll Accounting .
Building on this, there are further seminars on the subject in which you will also learn where the interfaces between occupational pension schemes and employment and insurance law lie and how to deal with external consultants and the insurance industry. In addition, the special features of the current legal situation - currently in particular the EU Mobility Directive and the Occupational Pensions Reinforcement Act - are also included in advanced occupational pension training courses.

We recommend the "Company pension scheme for payroll accountants - advanced" training .
