A business entity with over 200 workers may, with the consent of a labor union or with the approval of labor-management conference when no labor union exists, insure with the Annuities Insurance pursuant to the Insurance Act for workers who choose in writing to insure with the Annuities Insurance.
In the case of workers choosing to insure with the Annuities Insurance of the preceding paragraph, the employer is not required to contribute to labor pensions in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1.

Workers who are covered by this Act working in business entities that implement the Annuities Insurance scheme may, at the limit of one time per year, change their original applicable pension mechanism to their individual pension account or Annuities Insurance scheme.
