Non Remittance Of Pension Deductions; Position Of The Law? by 2Cents: 5:52pm On Feb 18, 2015
Hi Nairalanders, please I need information on what the law says on non remmitance of pension deductions from employees account.
What rights does the employee have?

I have been working in a private Polytechnic for two and a half years, and despite pension deductions, my pension account has never been credited.

I plan to resign at the end of this academic session, and I will like to know if the deductions will be remitted after I leave. If not are there legal options open to me?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

The law is not definite on a case as that.

My advice,
Liaise with your PFA to give you documentary evidences of non-remittance to your RSA for the said period.

Get pay slip stumps with indications of such deductions.
Sue the Organization for matters bordering on fraudulent intent.

Simply write a letter to pencom stating all the details and your company name. Then follow up appropriately. They will be made to remit it plus interest. I know this because I'm in the industry.

Have you tried to visit your institution's finance and account department to find out what the problem is? If yes, your next point of call is yourr PFA. From there you will know what to do. But in case you arrested not aware, you arr only entitled to some percentage of the money after six months of resignation without tenderING a new place of work to your PFA. You would have been entitle to all if you had worked 10 years and above.

Wrong, it's after 4 months with entitlement is 25% and he won't be entitled to all even if he has worked for 10 years.

You can sue them if the deductions from your salary was not credited into your pension account. Even the pension scheme you registered with will even hold them legally if they are aware of this non remittance. Just contact your PFA and watch the music after which.
Re: Non Remittance Of Pension Deductions; Position Of The Law? by Ibusho: 7:38am On Dec 20, 2017
Call your PFA. They will guide you on what to do accordingly. Your money will surely be remitted once they step into your issue. It i s statutory payment.

Dear Mr cents,
1. Is your polytechnic a private run insituton or publicly owned. This information is important so as to work out your minimum rate of the contributions that had been made for you by virtue of the Pension Reform Act 2014.

2.Do you have any information as to whether your employers elected to bear the cost of both the employer and employees contributions.

3. Do you still have a copy of your contract of employment handy, the position of the law is that an application of pension contributions to the total emolument of the employees as indicated in the employees contract of employment. Your monthly emolument from your polytechnic is simply your total emoluments as stated in your contract of employment provided this amount is not lower than the sum of your basic salary, housing allowance and transport allowance.

4.Do you remember opening a retirement savings account with a pension fund administrator since you started work with your polytechnic.

5.The legal means available to you if your pension funds had been misappropriated, is that apart form suing your employers for the due sums, you can apply for the forfeiture of the assets of your employers to the federal government

Pls feel free to message me should you need further information about your pension rights

The position of the law is clear on this issue despite that the enforcement of the law is poor. It is criminal offence for the companies or organization to deduct pension from staff salary without remittance to the PFA in favor of the staff.

kindly contact a lawyer to write a letter for regularization of your PFA and copy PTF too.. Ensure you take these steps before taking formal action against your employers. Cheers

Just write PENCOM with your details: Your name, pension identification number, your monthly salary, amount deducted (%), if it is 8% that means your employer is to pay the 10% balance that means your is expected to remit 18% of your monthly salary to your RSA every month. That is in line with the 2014 revised pension. But some companies are yet to adopt that, that means it can only be 7.5% employee employers giving a total of 15%. What ever the case employer's are obliged by the law to make remittance into employees RSA not later than 7 working days after the payments of every monthly salary. Try and down the latest pensions act from the PENCOM site for better understanding of your right.
