One essential retirement savings option for workers in South Africa’s private security sector is the Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF). It provides members with a range of benefits, such as retirement, disability, death, and withdrawal benefits, guaranteeing them financial stability. PSSPF offers online platforms for employers and members to register and access their accounts in order to effectively manage these benefits.
For Employers: Online Registration and Login
Employers in the private security sector are mandated to register with the PSSPF to facilitate contributions for their employees. The registration process involves submitting specific documentation to ensure compliance and proper onboarding. Required documents include the Commencement of New Employer Form, company resolution on official letterhead, electronic contribution schedule, certified copies of identification documents for relevant parties, authorized signatories forms, and PSIRA certificates for both the company and its directors. Detailed information and downloadable forms are available on the PSSPF’s official website.
