Questão jurídica principal
Whether the financing of the supplementary pension scheme for senior doctors counts as employer contributions excluded from massgebender Lohn.
Decisão extraída
The payments were employer contributions to a pension institution and therefore did not form part of the AHV-contributory wage.
Fundamentação extraída
The salary of senior doctors was reduced as of 1 January 2007, and the saved amount was used to pay the employer's share of the supplementary pension scheme. Under Art. 8 lit. a AHVV, such reglementary employer contributions are excluded from massgebender Lohn.
