Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to tell my employer before I join – how do they know to start making KiwiSaver contribution deductions from my pay?

​Once we have processed your application we will notify the IRD. The IRD will then send your employer a letter telling them you have joined a KiwiSaver Scheme and to start making contributions, how much to contribute and when to start contributing.

This process may take time so if you want to avoid any delays please tell your employer you have joined and to start making deductions – if they have any questions they can call us on 0800 855 322 or IRD on 0800 549 472.
