Employee opted in to Kiwisaver with a scheme provider

We have an employee that has opted into Kiwisaver with a scheme provider privately.   When I do the next pay run do I choose Active Member because they have joined privately or do I choose Opting In Existing Employee.  It is not very clear.

  • Hi larowe,

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    To ensure accuracy, it would be best to verify this directly with the IRD (Inland Revenue Department). They can provide the most up-to-date and specific guidance on the appropriate selection for an employee who has opted into KiwiSaver privately.

     

    As an additional resource, you may find this link helpful, which contains information that could assist in clarifying the process. However, contacting the IRD directly is recommended.

     

    If there's anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess
