Employees must be paid when they terminate (or in the next normal payrun) all wages, holiday pay or money outstanding as per the Wages Protection Act 1983.

An Employer may not deduct any money without the employees consent .This  should be stated in the employees contract and signed by both parties.

    Is termination pay subject to the KiwiSaver deduction, only for the period that the employee was enrolled, or not at all?

  2. Paula Retallick says:

    Temination pay is subject to Kiwisaver deductions only if they are a current Kiwisaver member. If they are being made redundant, then Kiwisaver is NOT deducted from the redundancy portion.

  3. Yeah employers always try to find loopholes to screw people out of their money, and most people don’t fight nearly enough.
