AVS / pillar 2: how to check contributions are recorded correctly

AVS / pillar 2: how to check contributions are recorded correctly | Dossiora Guide Suisse

AVS statements and pension certificates are the official snapshot—if employer and fund data stay in sync. Wrong year, employer, or duplicates take longer to unwind without a paper trail.

The problem, in practice

People compare pay slips to AVS extracts from the wrong quarter. With pillar 2 they assume coverage without checking waiting periods or part-time rules in the plan.

Step-by-step guide

For the same window, gather pay slips, employer attestations, latest AVS/AI statement, and the pension certificate.

Line-check insured salary and months marked as worked—a gap while employed is a warning.

For pillar 2, read the pension plan on entry date, workload, and employee vs employer shares—don’t guess.

If there’s a mismatch, send a structured letter to the fund with employer copied, reference IDs, and clearly named attachments.

Actionable checklist

  • AVS/AI extracts for past 24 months downloaded and filed.
  • Insurable vs actual salary: one-line note on any gap.
  • Pension certificate or fund simulation with date.
  • Letter template: subject, references, reconciliation ask in ≤10 lines.
  • Follow-up at day 30 if no reply.
