Clearing Up The Confusion: Payment Of Administration And Dispute Levies

MEIBC
INDUSTRY ALERT

PAYMENT OF ADMINISTRATION AND DISPUTE LEVIES
CLEARING UP THE CONFUSION

Dear Industry Employer

The persistent bombardment of the Industry with misleading circulars by the MEIBC has caused major confusion among employers as to their obligation to continue paying Administration and Dispute Levies.

NEASA has continuously informed the Industry that non-parties* should no longer deduct and pay these levies.

The MEIBC has now finally, due to pressure, amended their circular accordingly.

To view this circular click here.

NEASA therefore confirms that only employers who are members of a SEIFSA affiliated organisation are obligated to continue with the payment of these levies.

Employers who have made contributions towards Admin and Dispute Levies since 1 July 2016, should claim these contributions back on behalf of themselves and their employees.

Members who have queries in this regard should contact their regional NEASA office (click here for a contact list of the regional offices).

Non-members who need assistance, kindly click here.
