According to the Labor Code (Art. 387) “an employee may be retired upon reaching the retirement age established in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) or other applicable employment contract. In the absence of such agreement, the employee may retire upon reaching the age of 60 or more, but not more than 65, provided he has served at least 5 years or more in the same establishment. The age 60 or more, but below 65, is considered as the voluntary retirement age. Sixty-five is considered as the compulsory retirement age.”
I’m not a law practitioner however; based on the labor code above it appears that every BPO company should have a retirement plan provided that you have stayed for more than 5 years in your company and you retire by the age of 60 or depending on the retirement age imposed by your employer.
Below is a list of BPO / In House Companies that offer Retirement Plan for a minimum 5 year length of stay. The list would be in Alphabetical Order so that it would be easy to search; finally if your company is not listed below it doesn’t mean that they don’t offer retirement plan you just have to check with your HR to verify the required length of stay before you qualify for a retirement.
1. Citigroup – a portion of the salary will be kept for retirement and the company would also give the same amount for retirement.
2. Convergys – Existing employees hired before 2014 will still have the 5 year retirement plan. They now have a 10 year retirement plan. For the 5 year retirement plan, you will get 50% of your basic salary multiplied by the number of years. For the 10 year retirement plan, 100% x # of years. (from the comments)
3. Hewlett Packard -
4. JP Morgan – we have reached out to ex-employees and they can’t remember how the retirement plan was implemented. Based on the comments section.
5. Thomson Reuters – The company will set aside 7% of your basic pay after reaching 6 months/regularization then it's up to the employee if they want to set aside 1-3% of basic salary (salary deduction) then Thomson Reuters will add the same percentage that you give to your retirement plan giving you a maximum of 13%. (7% Automatic Thomson Reuters retirement plan + what ever percent you want (1-3%) + same percentage of what you are giving will be provided by Thomson Reuters as well). After 5 years employee is entitled for the 25% of the Retirement Package by Thomson Reuters + the 100% of the percentage that you set aside; Then every succeeding years after 5 years they will add 5% to the 25%. In case you did not make it to 5 years the employee share will be refunded.
6. Tata Consultancy Services - verifying from an ex employee
7. Wells Fargo -
A company that offers a 5 year retirement plan would have an advantage against those companies that are not offering the said benefit because; it could lower down the attrition rate and the employee would feel secure with the company. Though some BPO/In-house centers don’t have a 5 year retirement plan they can handle us very well and won’t treat us as a number. The 5 year retirement plan is not mandatory still, as BPO employees we would appreciate getting a compensation for the years that were lost for providing excellent customer service.
Please send us an email at thecallcenterfocus@gmail.com if your company offers the same benefit and inform us if you want your name withheld we assume that you want your name published if we did not see this message.
For additional inputs please head on to the comments section. Thank you for supporting CallCenterFocus the community that’s built by call center employees for call center employees.
Note: The list above is based on the comments section, from our own personal experience and messages that we got from Facebook it may be updated from time to time once we have verified the necessary information. It would still be best to check with your HR on how they implement the retirement benefit for your company.
According to Convergys, they do not have the 10 year retirement plan. What they have is the 60 y/o retirement plan.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input to clear things out we messaged Convergys Philippines via their Facebook Page.
DeleteOptum Global Solutions has retirement plan early as 5years of tenurity :)
DeleteAs for Thomson Reuters, an employee has the option to set aside 1%, 2% or 3% of his/her salary each payday for the employee share. The company then will allot the same amount times 2 (so they double it). If you resign after being on for 5 years, you get 20% of the company share. If you stay 10 years, you get the full amount.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for helping our community, we will update our info above.
DeleteSorry but it's wrong... Thomson Reuters will set aside 7% of your basic pay after reaching 6 months/regularization then it's up to you if you want to set aside 1-3% of your basic (salary deduction) then Thomson Reuters will add the same percentage that you give to your retirement plan giving you a maximum of 13%.

DeleteI work for Wells Fargo EGS Phils., and we have retirement plan.
ReplyDelete@3:01AM Thanks for the confirmation, do you know how is it being implemented?
DeleteHow about companies that were acquired by another BPO. Take for example Stream and Convergys. Will Stream employees (who have been with the company for 5 years or so) be eligible for the retirement plan of 5 years?
ReplyDeleteSince Convergys acquired Stream, they no longer offer retirement plan.. This applies to employees hired this year, 2015. -a CVGemployee
Delete@10:49 Yeah you're right I will check this with our HR.
ReplyDeleteAny update on the retirement plan?
DeleteHow about EGS RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN?
ReplyDeletewhat you have said about convergys retirement plan is correct however for the newly hired employee's the retirement plan is no longer applicable for them but for the tenured employee's who stayed 10 years until now they are eligible to get it
ReplyDeleteI know this post is old but for anyone interested in applying for JPMorgan Chase & Co. The retirement plan works like this. The moment you start at JPMC, the company would put 6% monthly calculated from your basic salary to retirement. They are not deducting it from your salary they are calculating it. After 5 years of service if you resign you'll get 30% of retirement funds, 6 years 40%, 7 years 50%, 8 years 60%, 9 years 80%, and 10 years 100%. You are not able to put money of your own. They go through a balanced investment locally, not conservative nor aggressive. We get a report each quarter if it has earned or not. That's pretty much it.
ReplyDeleteI've also heard AMEX has a 5 year early retirement and you can put your money on there. Wells Fargo also.
nice
