The VBL insurance is a compulsory insurance that every employee hired under the collective agreement must take out at the start of the contract.

Academic employees can decide whether they wish to switch from compulsory insurance to voluntary insurance (VBLextra). A general exemption from the VBL is not possible; instead, only the compulsory insurance (VBLklassik) is converted into a voluntary insurance (VBLextra). The application must be submit within 2 months of the start of the employment relationship at the HR department.

When your employment relationship begins (in the case of new employment or reemployment with an interruption of one day or more), you will initially be registered with the VBLklassik. If you apply for exemption from compulsory insurance in the supplementary pension scheme, you will be (written) deregistered from the VBLklassik and (written) registered with the VBLextra with a slight delay. If you have any further questions or require more detailed information on the subject of VBL, please contact the VBL directly.

If applicable:

• Contract for deposit under employer-sponsored savings plans for specific purposes (vermögenswirksame Anlage) with deposit receipt
• Holiday certificate from previous employer
• Declaration regarding the allowance for the health insurance contribution (form from your health insurance company)

In the case of re-employment with an interruption under 6 months submit the following documents:

• In the case of an interruption of the day or more, only one re-registration with the VBLextra is necessary, provided that you were a scientific employee at the University of Rostock during your last employment and had opted for the VBLextra. Please refer to your VBL documents for information on whether you were insured under VBLextra or VBLklassik.
• Other documents or forms are only necessary if there have been changes since your last employment (e.g. marriage, change of bank details, etc.).
  
  After an interruption of 6 months or longer, please resubmit all documents and forms, except for certificates and civil status certificates that you had already submitted in the past.

Addresses and tips for your accommodation, registration (local office, bank, tax office, etc.) and much more can be obtained from the Welcome Centre of the University of Rostock and the Welcome Centre of the Hanseatic City of Rostock.
