The Covip directive clarifies that, effective 1 July, silence will be deemed consent for both the TFR severance fund and the regular worker‑plus‑employer pension contributions, giving new hires 60 days to opt out. This expands the base of mandatory retirement savings beyond the existing TFR automatic enrolment, aiming to increase coverage and adequacy of occupational pensions. The measure requires employers to adjust payroll systems and pension providers to supply clear opt‑out information, with compliance monitored by the regulator.
