Would National Insurance tell employers that their staff was asking questions about their contribution status, thereby placing their jobs in jeopardy?
No. Any questions/concerns about an employee’s contributions are kept in strict confidence. Additionally, as of January, 1999, employers who terminate, demote, penalize or victimize in any way, their employees who request information from the Board on their contribution status, will be liable to a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment, or both. The burden of proof will rest with the employer.
