pension from holiday jobs

[Medic-one]

I'm in my current job now and hoping to stay here till i retire and then take the pension i'm building up now.

However when i was 15 (and still living in Holland) i worked over the summer holidays for the local hospital (mail room and internal transport and stuff) and continue'd working for them over the weekends through college and university so i was building a (little) pension up there as well.

Also had a couple other jobs as a 17-18 year old, like pizza delivery and life guard.


I was wondering now, can i somehow ask for that pension money now, as i'm not in those jobs any more, and not even in that country anymore, or do you have to wait for all your pension untill you're like 60 - 65, and then have to go and chase them all yourself or how does that work ?

I just got my driving licence and just wanted a after schooltime job where i could drive in. Plus i love pizza and helped out in the kitching baking them as well.

Was the ideal job, making pizza, driving around building up driving experience, and at the end of the shift make your own pizza to take home.

But i believe all the summer and parttime jobs i've done over the years they've taken money off for pension plans and was just wondering if i can get that earlier or have to chase up all those companies when i'm 60.

No issues with the jobs, mate. I've had some stinkers in my time. Never thought that Pizza delivery paid much though after paying for you're own fuel.

I just found it a little hard to believe that a summer job would take money off you for a pension. It's not like you're gonna stay there. I'd have asked for all my money ta. Or was it a non-contributory thing?
