In 2016, the statutory WW unemployment benefit was adjusted from 38 months to 24 months. Employers' and employees' organisations have agreed that the right to this benefit will remain the same as far as possible (third WW year). This has been incorporated in a private arrangement, Private Supplement WW and WGA Foundation (SPAWW), to which collective agreements can be submitted.
During a WW benefit, the pension build-up with Bpf Koopvaardij can be continued voluntarily. In that case, Bpf Koopvaardij will pay part of the contribution. We now also do so during a SPAWW benefit. The total duration of the continuation (WW and SPAWW) will not exceed 36 months. You can arrange this supplement for your employees by means of a collective agreement.
On this page (Dutch only), you will find an overview of the collective agreements that have been registered with SPAWW. If your collective agreement has not been registered, you can register it via this page (Dutch only). If you do not have a collective agreement, registration with SPAWW will unfortunately not be possible.
