Financial Health
Planning for the future takes focus and planning. Whatever your goals may be—whether it’s exploring the world, starting a new business, or simply enjoying quality time with your loved ones—take advantage of your Cision benefits to pave the way toward achieving those goals.
Saving for your future is important so that you can have the retirement you want. As detailed in your contract of employment, can be enrolled in the Capital-Forming Benefit and Occupational Pension Scheme.
Captial-Forming Benefit
You can receive a monthly subsidised capital-forming benefit of €40 which can be invested in a bank savings plan, building loan agreement, investment fund savings plan or a comparable form of investment. In addition to this it can also be used for the occupational pension scheme.
All active fulltime and part time employees are eligible for this benefit. The maximum amount of capital forming benefit is €40 per month for a full time employee and part time employees will receive a pro rata amount based on their working hours.
Employees on maternity or parental leave are eligible for this benefit. Temporary employees or employees or LOA are not eligible.
How do I enrol?
You must provide a copy of a contract with the bank signed in wet ink by yourself to the People Operations team (peoplesharedservices@cision.com) by 14th of the month. If it is submitted after this date it will be processed in the next payroll cycle.
The capital–forming benefit will be paid directly to your chosen bank or investment until further notice.

Occupational Pension Scheme
A pension savings policy is taken up by the employer for the employee. The employee can convert a self-defined amount from their gross salary to invest directly into the pension scheme. The company will then pay an additional compulsory contribution of 15% of the deferred amount. << Cision to confirm this last sentence.
