The ECP programme is one of social solidarity and responsibility for employers, employees and the State. ECPs were created for employees to help them save and multiply their private savings for their future – irrespective of the pension system. At the same time, an ECP expresses the employers’ responsibility for employees and their families. It is also a programme characterised by very important social and economic dimensions. In teaching systematic long-term saving, it helps lay the foundations for a stable national economy.
Financial security of employees and their families
Saving for future in a simple and safe manner
Greater potential for economic development
Higher quality of life for Polish citizens after completion of their professional activities
Favourable structure of household savings
Releasing local capital
Establishing funds for the employee’s future pension is carried out through the regular transfer of contributions.
The employer's and the employee's contributions are transferred by the employer to a financial institution where they are added to the employee's individual account. The amount of the basic contribution paid by the employer is 1.5% of the given employee's gross remuneration. The employer may also pay an additional contribution, which may amount up to 2.5% of this remuneration. It is important that the contributions made by the Employer do not cause reduce the remuneration received by the employee.
The amount of the basic contribution made by the Employee is 2% of their gross remuneration. The Employee has also the possibility to increase their contribution by an additional payment, which may not exceed another 2% of their remuneration. The Employee’s contributions will reduce the amount of their monthly remuneration, but they remain their property in the form of an investment for their future.
It is worth noting that employees who receive the lowest remuneration, not exceeding 1.2 times the minimum wage stipulated by law, will be allowed to reduce their basic contribution even to 0.5% of their remuneration. It is important that the reduction of the basic contribution will not cause the reduction of the employer's contributions and the State's surcharges – the employee will receive from these entities to their ECP account the same amounts as they would receive paying the contribution of 2%.
Savings paid by the employee and the employer will be supplemented by regular contributions from the State. Each participant will receive for their individual account an additional PLN 240. Moreover, at the beginning employees will receive one-off welcome payment of PLN 250.
In order to facilitate the participant’s management of their ECP accounts, we have prepared a set of tools for employees and employers. Due to this internet application, each participant may quickly check the balance of funds on their account, while thanks to the calculators the employees and employers may check the amount of the contributions and estimated results, e.g. after saving for 5 years.
