NECI’s Electricians Pension Mortality & Sick Pay Scheme
- The NECI pension scheme has been approved by the Revenue Commissioners and is fully regulated by the Pensions Board.
- This scheme also allows employers to join.
- The total contribution to the NECI pension scheme is at a rate of 6.2% of the employee's salary, subject to a minimum payment of €4.11 by the employee.
- A qualifying benefit week must meet the minimum benefit payment of €8.72 which is broken down as follows:

- The employee portion of the benefit of €4.11 is always the initial deduction from the employee's salary - this is not tax allowable.
- The balance of the deduction is a pension contribution which is tax allowable.
- Employers contribute 3.7% for every hour worked by each employee.
- Employees contribute 2.5% for every hour worked.
