Following the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) ACT No. 45 of 2013, employers are advised to make arrangements to submit their contributions in accordance with the new NSSF Act where pension contribution would be 12% of the pensionable wages made up of two equal portions of 6% from the employee and 6% from the employer subject to an upper limit of KES 2,160 for employees earning above KES 18,000. The Upper Earning Limit (UEL) is KES. 18,000 while the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) is KES 6,000 (National Social Security Fund (NSSF), 2019). This applies to all employees and is not specific to persons with dementia.
