Employer KiwiSaver contributions

Original factual summary of a published party position. A proposal does not establish delivery, impact or an individual MP’s personal position.

Labour proposes compulsory employer contributions from July 2028, rising to 6% by 2032, including when employees pause their own contributions. It proposes a 4% employee default with no minimum, contributions for paid parental leave and workers over 65, and a ban on new salary packages that absorb employer contributions.
