Kiwisaver (certain eligibility as per legislation)
Over 65s - Once you turn 65, employer KiwiSaver contributions are no longer compulsory. The government will also stop contributing to your KiwiSaver account, unless certain limited circumstances apply. Currently, LIC continues to make employer KiwiSaver contributions to employees over 65 through a salary sacrifice. Under the proposed new approach, we would include employer contributions as an additional figure over and above your base remuneration.
-
LIC’s Employee Share Scheme(certain eligibility)
One of the benefits of being an LIC employee is the ability to belong to the LIC’s Employee Share Scheme (ESS).
LIC has partnered with Craig's Investment who will administer any shared trading – and all brokerage fees are covered by LIC.
