Morning all
I'm just wondering if someone is able to explain the second paragraph (taken from the Kiwisaver website)... is it not contradicting the first paragraph?
"Wage bargaining
Your employer's compulsory contributions must be on top of your regular pay.
This means that if you have agreed to a total remuneration package, the compulsory employer contributions must be paid on top of that package.
Your take-home pay should not be reduced because your employer is making a compulsory contribution.
Through good faith bargaining, a salary package under an employment agreement can be negotiated whereby compulsory employer contributions can be offset against the employee's gross pay".
Cheers
