La Seguridad Social premia con un 25% extra de pensión a los jubilados que vuelvan a trabajar
Cuando la jornada laboral se sitúa entre el 33% y menos del 55% se prevé un 15% de pensión adicional, mientras que si está en la horquilla de entre el 55% y el 80% se abonará un 25% extra de pensión. Leer
The Spanish Social Security system has rewarded pensioners with a 25% extra pension for those who return to part-time work, according to wire material. The new regulation, effective since August 28, aims to provide stronger incentives for retirement-age individuals to re-enter the labor market as either salaried employees or freelancers.
Unlike the pre-reform scheme, which required working hours between 25% and 75%, the new system stipulates that pensioners should work between 33% and 80% of the hours, thereby reducing the pension proportionally. For instance, if a worker returns to 60% of the regular workday, they would receive 40% of the pension and an additional 25% on top of it.
The flexible retirement is designed to encourage older workers to return to employment, with a bonus added to the pension portion only if the return to work occurs after six months of retirement. This is the second major enhancement of the revised flexible retirement formula. Pensioners can choose to start their own business, provided they were not self-employed for three years prior to their retirement, to prevent fraud involving continuity in the same traditional business.
Under these circumstances, the pension calculation is based on 25% of the pension amount, plus the earnings generated from the self-employment activity. The Social Security regulation clarifies how the compatibility operates in cases of return to the labor market, including the gender or maternity pay-out, which remains unaffected and is reduced and increased in the same proportion as the compatible pension (including the 15% or 25% bonuses).
As for the minimum income supplement, no right to this supplement exists during the time in which work and pension are compatible. Lastly, incompatibility exists with the delay compensation payment, meaning those who opted for the single payment or mixed payment option with the delay incentive will have this supplement temporarily suspended while working.
