Occupational plans
In consultation with employers, workers may substitute an
occupational pension plan for the second tier of coverage, with a
portion of their payroll taxes (national insurance contributions)
used as a rebate to offset the cost of a private "occupational
pension scheme." The value of this tax rebate of payroll taxes
(national insurance contributions) varies over the years and is
determined periodically by the secretary of state for social
security based on the recommendation of the British Government
Actuary. Today, employers receive a rebate of 3 percentage
points on their payroll taxes, and employees receive a rebate of
1.6 percentage points of earnings for money paid into an
employer-sponsored pension plan.

Chile, for example, privatized a failing public system in 1981 with some
success. However, Chileans' trust in their pension system plunged following
the financial crisis of 2008, when some of the riskier funds dropped 40%.
Currently, pensions in Chile are not large enough for a significant percentage
of the population, thanks to inadequate contributions, increased life
expectancy, and 10 years of lower investment returns.
At retirement, workers would be able to choose from several different payout
options that are found in the private sector, such as annuity or life payments.
