Rent a grandpa via app

Retirement, joy, pancakes? Not for everyone. Many would like to continue working after reaching AHV retirement age - without the daily pressures of the working world. This is where Rent a Pensioner comes in: since 2009, pensioners willing to work have been able to register on the online placement platform and offer themselves as workers. And they can do it wherever they enjoy it most: in the household, in their free time or in the garden. 4,000 members are now registered on Rent a Rentner. That proves it: "Unretirement" is more popular than ever. Pensioners want to continue to be useful and at the same time maintain contact with other generations. And on Rent a Rentner, they do this in a thoroughly contemporary way, namely online.

The new app

Now the platform is going one step further: with the new RentnerFinder® app, you can easily find retirees willing to work in the area where you are. You can search by category and activity, add the "objects of your desire" to a watch list or book them directly. The app is available immediately in the Apple Store for iPhones. If there is sufficient demand, it will also be available for tablets and Android devices at a later date.

This is what the law says about "Working as a pensioner":

Even those who have reached the normal retirement age may continue to work. In this case, you can defer drawing your AHV pension for at least one year and a maximum of five years or draw your pension despite being gainfully employed. The OASI contributions you pay after reaching the normal retirement age are solidarity contributions and no longer affect the amount of your pension. if you wish to continue working after retirement, OASI, DI and income replacement contributions will continue to be deducted from your salary. However, contributions to unemployment insurance no longer apply, as you are no longer entitled to unemployment benefits at retirement age, and contributions are levied on the portion of your salary that exceeds a certain allowance (currently CHF 1,400 per month or CHF 16,800 per year). If you work for several employers, the tax-free amount applies to each of these jobs.
