The VBL insurance is a compulsory insurance that every employee hired under the collective agreement must take out at the start of the contract.
Academic employees can decide whether they wish to switch from compulsory insurance to voluntary insurance (VBLextra). A general exemption from the VBL is not possible; instead, only the compulsory insurance (VBLklassik) is converted into a voluntary insurance (VBLextra). The application must be submit within 2 months of the start of the employment relationship at the HR department.
When your employment relationship begins (in the case of new employment or reemployment with an interruption of one day or more), you will initially be registered with the VBLklassik. If you apply for exemption from compulsory insurance in the supplementary pension scheme, you will be (written) deregistered from the VBLklassik and (written) registered with the VBLextra with a slight delay. If you have any further questions or require more detailed information on the subject of VBL, please contact the VBL directly.
