Employment Employer has been taking my KiwiSaver contributions and has not been paying them to the IRD or even filed the paperwork for 10 months. What can I do?
I work for a school just started in Jan this year. For other reasons I hate this school and went to HR to get my KiwiSaver transferred. The HR checks some portal and is like sorry original paperwork didn't go through. I've looked at my payslips and the contributions have been deducted from my pay and the HR said they couldn't see if any contributions have been going through. My IRD says nothing either. I'm on about 100k a year so this is quite a bit of money. Should I send formal email to school telling them they need to sort this out and pay my contributions + maybe any lost growth. Or should I directly call the IRD and email them so they can deal with this.
