1. Call an ANZ Relationship Manager on 0800 500 648 and request an ‘Employer Information Pack’.
2. Read and sign the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme Preferred Provider Agreement form (PDF 180 kB).
3. Return the form in the Freepost envelope provided.

OnePath will instruct Inland Revenue that the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme is your preferred provider scheme.

You’ll be sent ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme start-up packs (which include the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme Investment Statement) for you to distribute to your staff or as new staff start employment with you.

What do you have to do as an employer?

• Within seven days of a new employee^* starting work, provide them with a KiwiSaver information pack (supplied by Inland Revenue). If you have selected a preferred provider scheme such as the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme, you will also need to provide:
  • an Investment Statement for your preferred provider scheme
  • a statement advising employees that they will be allocated to your preferred provider scheme if they do not choose their own KiwiSaver scheme.
• Act on any opt-in requests, by providing information packs (and Investment Statements if appropriate) to employees within seven days of them giving you a KiwiSaver deduction notice.Send all member details to Inland Revenue. If you choose the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme, we will provide the information packs to you.
• Deduct KiwiSaver contributions from each member’s pay and forward these to Inland Revenue once a fortnight or month via PAYE.
• Forward any opt-out requests to Inland Revenue, and refund any contributions deducted but not yet forwarded to Inland Revenue to any employee who opts out.
• Act on any contributions holiday notices.

Employers are generally required to contribute 3% (2% until 31 March 2013) of an employee’s gross salary or wages if the employee is contributing to the ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme from his or her salary or wages. This may change in the future if legislation changes.

Certain aspects of all KiwiSaver schemes, such as minimum contribution levels, the Government incentives and the circumstances in which benefits may be withdrawn, are prescribed in KiwiSaver legislation. The legislation may be amended from time to time by the Government and any such amendment may impact on the ANZ KiwiSaverScheme.
