Fonchim was born from collective bargaining in the chemical-pharmaceutical sector. The purpose of pension funds is to INTEGRATE the public pension which, in the years to come, will be less and less linked to the final salary received.
All those who started working from 1 January 1996, at the time of retirement, will find themselves receiving a public pension equal on average to 50% of the final salary. Therefore, the Fonchim is not just an investment, but for the majority of workers, Pension Funds are a real need, dictated precisely by the progressive reduction of the pension treatment by the public social security system.
Contributions to the Fund are made on a monthly basis, starting from the month following that of enrollment and are made up of 4 items, established by the CCNL for chemists: membership fee 1.2%; company share 2.10%; severance indemnity contribution (variable), predecease contribution 0.20%. The member contribution, the company contribution and the insurance contribution are deducted from the taxable amount directly through the pay slip.
L'Assembly of Delegates, the Fund's general guidance body, is made up of 62 representatives, 31 of whom from the employers' side and 31 from the trade union side.
FASCHIM offers more possibilities for dealing with one's therapeutic needs, guarantees that a part of one's health costs will be reimbursed, offers support for normal treatments and unexpected events, protects both the worker and his family.
I 30 delegati componenti l’Assemblea di FASCHIM vengono eletti dagli associati: 15 sono rappresentanti dei lavoratori, eletti dai lavoratori iscritti al Fondo, tra candidati/liste proposte dalle Organizzazioni Sindacali; 15 sono rappresentanti delle imprese.
