Pension fund contribution payment: employer and principal employer responsibility extends to members engaged directly or through contractors.

The payment of contribution under the Employees' Pension Scheme, 2026 requires the employer to pay the contribution payable to the Pension Fund for each member employed by that employer, whether engaged directly or through a contractor. Responsibility for payment is placed on the principal employer, making the principal employer accountable for contributions payable to the Pension Fund even where employment is through contractors.
