Active KiwiSaver Member – select this option if the payee is already KiwiSaver member at commencement of employment

Info

A payee only needs to be opted into KiwiSaver if they are not already an active member and are not eligible for automatic enrolment. The KiwiSaver Status of the payee must be set to Opting In to allow an opt-in date to be selected.

Note that if a payee’s KiwiSaver status is Eligible for Auto Enrolment or Active KiwiSaver Member the payee does not need to have an opt-in date; an opt-in date is only required if the payee is eligible for optional KiwiSaver membership and is choosing to opt in.

If a payee has already been paid, their opt-in date must be later than the Last Used Date of their Payee record.

Skip this step if the payee's KiwiSaver status is anything but Opting-In.
