Not long ago, it was common for a company to provide employees with a defined benefit plan. 不久前,这是共同为公司雇员提供一个确定的福利计划。
Not just individuals, but defined benefit pension plans are not putting enough in to support their promised benefits. 不仅是个人,固定收益养老计划也没有投入足够多的资金来支持他们承诺的福利。
Contrast this with their employees, who are seeing the last vestiges of their defined benefit pensions disappearing. 这与他们的员工形成了对比,员工会发现自己的固定收益养老金正在消失殆尽。
For many workers, the defined benefit plan, together with social security, ensured a sense of security for their future lifestyle. 对许多工人来说,有明确规定的福利计划,加上社会安全,确保了他们未来的生活安全感。
If you are a participant in a defined benefit plan your benefits will begin at retirement age. 如果你参加的是定期福利计划,那么在你退休的时候该福利就能生效。
