Tyrolean pensioner:

“The state penalizes my work in retirement”

Bringing in valuable experience, being gainfully employed despite retirement: numerous employers in Tyrol are eager for retirees from their own company. However, this is penalized financially, as a 62-year-old complains to the "Krone" newspaper.

62-year-old Andreas Vukic is an experienced employee at the Spar grocery chain. He has a total of 47 (!) years of service under his belt, 20 of them as store manager at the Eurospar Hall, Innsbruck-Unibrücke and Zirl locations. Then it was over.
