is there any way to know for sure (when you get your pay) that your school has paid taxes, pension, etc, instead of deducting it and keeping it for themselves? any official gov't document or receipt of any kind?

i'm betting there isn't.

Can I ask the employer to give me a copy of my Taxation Certificate? Yes, you should. Every employer MUST submit in February a "Receipt for Wage & Salary Income Taxes Withholding" form. Ask for a copy of this. This must be prepared at the end of your contract and is proof of Taxes to be paid to the KTO.

You also have a right to request a Certificate of Employment and your employers have a legal obligation to provide one. I also advise you head down to the local tax office to find out what has been paid.

Your employer should be providing a wage slip each month if you request one. When you visit take all your payment/wage slips with you and your ARC. This should really get the ball rolling regarding pension, tax et al.

Look at the link above to find your local tax office. It takes some browsing to find the right link.

Hope that helps.

you can call the pension office to check that your employer has paid into your pension. I did and good thing too because my employer skipped about 3 months in the middle of my contract and the pension office now called them and made them pay into it, or at least made them say they would, haveint gotten it yet
