Question:

 

I have a question on KiwiSaver that I am finding it difficult to answer

 

When an employee is off work receiving ACC earnings compensation does a employer still have an obligation to pay the employer contributions to KiwiSaver for that employee?

 

Answer:

 

No an employer is under no obligation to pay compulsory employer contributions to KiwiSaver if the employee is getting paid compensation by ACC.

 

If the employer was in a partnership programme with ACC and was paying the employee directly they would.
