NSSF Tier II


NSSF Tier II Contracting Out: Take Control of Your Employees’ Retirement

By law, part of your employees’ pension contributions goes to NSSF.

But here’s what most employers don’t realize:

You can legally redirect the Tier II portion into a private pension scheme—without increasing your costs.


What Is NSSF Tier II?

Under the NSSF Act:

  • Tier I: Mandatory contribution paid to NSSF
  • Tier II: Can be:
    • Paid to NSSF, or
    • Contracted out to an approved private pension scheme

This gives employers the opportunity to offer a more structured and potentially higher-performing retirement solution.


Why Contract Out Tier II?

Forward-thinking businesses use this to improve employee benefits without increasing payroll costs:

  • Better Growth Potential: Professionally managed pension funds
  • Improved Employee Benefits: Stronger retirement package
  • More Control: Clear reporting and fund visibility
  • Competitive Advantage: Attract and retain skilled employees

How It Works

  • Employer registers with an approved umbrella pension scheme
  • Tier II contributions are redirected to the scheme
  • Funds are professionally invested on behalf of employees
  • Employees build a structured retirement benefit outside NSSF

Who Is This Best For?

  • SMEs with structured payroll
  • Companies looking to improve staff benefits
  • Employers competing for skilled talent
  • Businesses ready for structured financial planning
