Match‑IT is a voluntary, employer‑supported contribution scheme designed to help employees grow their retirement savings faster—while giving employers a powerful tool to stand out as an Employer of Choice.
With Match‑IT, employers match their employees’ monthly voluntary pension contributions, either fully or partially. This shared commitment builds a stronger retirement future for employees while reinforcing a culture of loyalty, appreciation, and financial wellbeing in the workplace.

And the best part?
All voluntary contributions—up to 8% of an employee’s gross salary—are completely tax‑free, making Match‑IT a smart and rewarding investment for both employers and employees.

How Match‑IT Works

Match‑IT is designed with maximum flexibility so employers can implement the scheme in a way that best suits their financial capacity, workforce priorities, and organisational goals.

Employers can choose:

The contribution-matching method

  • SCR 1 for every SCR 1 voluntarily contributed by employees
  • Tiered matching (e.g., higher matching for lower‑income or operational staff, reducing at higher salary bands)
  • Fixed percentage match (e.g., employer matches 50% of whatever the employee contributes)

 The duration of the programme

  • Permanent
  • Fixed‑term (e.g., 12 months, 24 months, or any chosen period)
  • Seasonal or performance‑linked periods

The level of investment

  • Match all employees equally
  • Target specific employee groups
  • Link contributions to tenure, performance, or development programmes
Match‑IT is entirely optional—and employers can tailor it to what they can reasonably afford.
