Q: What if my employer places conditions on the making of contributions, (e.g. minimum duration of service)?

A: The Act makes it mandatory for all employers in the private sector with 5 or more employees to make the deductions and remittance and no employer may introduce any conditions to the remittance of such deductions as it will be in violation of the Act. Under the Act, there is no minimum duration of employment before the employee is eligible. ALL employees of companies with 5 or more staff must be under the Act.
