Monalisatuan, I'm not sure what this means.

What's the difference between a "retiree" and a "pensioner"?

Do they get this amount each year? Or do they get a lump sum?

If someone worked 22 years, would the get five months + 2x6 months, for a total of 17 months?

Monalisatuan · Answer

Retiree here means early Retiree who has to stop working under a scheme to streamline the State apparatus.

Hereplease check whether my translation is ok , with emphasis on the phrase in bold type.

Retirees will receive three months salary annually up to the statutory retirement age. Pensioners will then receive five months of their annual salary for the first 20 years worked, and six months for every year worked over 20.

Thanks

It's still not clear to me. What is the difference between a retiree and a pensioner?

Do the pensioners get their money only once? If not, how often?

Hi Mona Lisa,

Let’s assume that the statutory retirement age is 60 in your country. Do you mean employees who leave the company before they reach the age of 60 are called retirees and those who are 60 or above pensioners? If that is so, you've just redefined English words!

- retiree is someone who has stopped working, usually because of their age.
- pensioner is someone who receives a pension.
- pension is an amount of money paid regularly by the government or company to someone who does not work any more, for example because they have reached the age when people stop working or because they are ill.

Based on those definitions, pensioners and retirees are the same from the viewpoint of age. However, retirees might not be pensioners if they do not receive a pension. Of course, pensioners are not retirees if they stop working because they are ill.

Employees can sometimes take an early retirement before they reach a statutory retirement age. Some people call them 'early retirement employees'. Here is an example:

"25 per cent of the amount of money to be paid in cash to an early retirement employee with the remainder put on deposit at a bank. ..."

Is that enough information for you?

What is " statutory retirment age age"? A retiree is someone who is no longer working and offically retired in the eyes of the government, especially when he is receiving his retirement check from the government, I like to help you but first I have to understand what I am writing. I could get passed the first one and I am afraid to touch the second one.

Well, you are right when say retiree here is early retirement employee.In my country , recently a number of employees who had paid social insurance premium for 20 years or over but not yet reached their retiremt age were forced to retire early . When they retire early in this case , they cannot take their pension until they reach their retirement age ) 60 for males and 55 for females).Now the State wants to compensate for them by issuing a decision with this content .

Statuatory retirement age here means the retirement age stipulated by law.

Best Regards
