The Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) welcomes the publication by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of retirement funds and employers with arrear contributions. However, it is deeply concerning that some employers and retirement funds continue to disregard the law, placing workers at a disadvantage.
It is unacceptable that workers are forced to wait extended periods to access their funds, while others remain uncertain whether they will receive their hard-earned funds. Such practices undermine financial security for many retirement funds members and erode trust in the system.
FEDUSA echoes the FSCA’s call for members who are concerned about unpaid pension fund contributions to urgently engage their employers and retirement funds to verify the status of their contributions.
Employers and retirement funds that have appeared on this list more than once since 2022 must face the full might of the law. Regulatory and law enforcement authorities must act decisively to hold them accountable and set a strong precedent against non-compliance.
FEDUSA emphasizes that no employer or retirement fund is above the law. We call for strict compliance, accountability, and the protection of workers’ hard-earned benefits.
