PFA Occupational Capacity
If you fall ill and become unable to work, you can get regular payouts until you reach retirement or your occupational capacity improves.
If you have an ordinary deductible pension plan
If you, like most employees with Novo Nordisk, have a pension plan with tax deductible pension payments, you will get a new and more simple occupational capacity insurance, PFA Occupational Capacity with income protection. Your new insurance plan will provide you with a total income of 80 per cent of your previous salary if your occupational capacity is reduced by minimum 50 per cent for more than 6 months and your salary falls below your insurance cover.
The insurance tops up your income, so that your total income amounts to 80 per cent of your previous salary regardless of whether you are receiving sickness benefits, public early retirement pension, job rehabilitation benefits or similar. The objective of this insurance plan is to ensure you a financial safety net if your occupational capacity becomes reduced, and, therefore, you cannot reduce your coverage below 80 per cent of your previous salary. Your previous salary refers to your salary at the time when you become entitled to insurance payouts.
If you have a pension plan without Danish tax deduction

With the new insurance plan, PFA Occupational Capacity with fixed payouts, you will receive a fixed amount if your occupational capacity becomes reduced by minimum 50 per cent for more than 6 months. Your current coverage will be converted to an amount in DKK. The payouts are tax-free and can, as a maximum, amount to 60 per cent of your previous salary. Your previous salary refers to your salary at the time when you become entitled to insurance payouts.

Payment protection cover offers extra security
Your occupational capacity insurance also includes payment protection cover, which ensures that your pension plan will continue while you receive payouts from PFA Occupational Capacity.
