Private Retirement Scheme
Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) Vesting Programme for Employers is a scheme that can help employers boost their compensation package by offering to contribute to their employees’ retirement fund on top of the mandatory Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contribution. While EPF contributions are vested immediately with the employees, the vesting of PRS funds can be customised based on the employers’ preference.

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
Public Mutual offers three types of Employer Contributions which are conditional or unconditional via our vesting programme:
Immediate Vesting
In Immediate Vesting, the employer’s contribution will be immediately vested to the employee and he/she gains 100% ownership of the contribution as soon as the units are credited into his/her PRS account.
Straight Vesting
In Straight Vesting, the employer dictates when an employee can be entitled to his/her PRS contribution. Upon fulfilling the number of years of employment service, all unvested contributions prior to the vesting date and subsequent contributions will be immediately vested to the employee.
