ANSWER ID:12186According to the IRDInland Revenue's KiwiSaver Employer Guide, temporary or casual employees employed for no more than 28 days are not subject to automatic enrolment enrollment into KiwiSaver. However: if they end up being employed for longer than 28 days they become subject to automatic enrolment, or if temporary or casual employees are already KiwiSaver members then KiwiSaver deductions should be made from their first pay.
In Payroll, a casual employee with no normal hours/days is not automatically enrolled into KiwiSaver. This is because Payroll has no way of knowing the length of time the employee may be employed so will not automatically enrol the employee into KiwiSaver. | UI Expand |
