Step by step
How to check whether your employer is paying pension in Israel
The fastest way to get confused is to look at only one source. The fastest way to get clarity is to compare the contract, the payslip, and the fund statement as one timeline.

How RightFlow reviews this topic
We compare contract clauses, payslips, and fund statements to explain where payroll and contribution risk usually starts.
Build the three-document timeline
First note the month when pension should have started under the applicable arrangement. Then identify the month when the payslip first shows deductions or employer-side pension lines. Then check the fund statement for the month and date that the contribution was actually posted. This simple timeline often reveals whether you are looking at a real missing contribution, a lag, or a setup issue.
Do not compare gross salary alone. Compare the relevant pension base.
Keep the first missing month, the first reported month, and the first posted month visible together.
What matters
Most pension mysteries become much less mysterious once the documents are placed on one timeline.
Review timing without overclaiming
Kol Zchut gives a clear transfer framework, but the review still has to stay precise. Describe whether the transfer arrived within the 7-business-day / 15-day framework, and whether deducted employee amounts were left out of the transfer. That lands much better than turning every delay into a blanket accusation.
Use the transfer date from the fund record, not memory or assumption.
If the story is still unclear, ask payroll for the transfer reference and correction path in writing.
What matters
Precision is more persuasive than outrage when you are checking pension payments.
Frequently asked questions
Which document is most important?
Each document answers a different question, but the contract is usually the starting point because it defines the benchmark.
What if payroll says the fund is just delayed?
Ask for the posted transfer date and compare it to the relevant month and the Kol Zchut timing framework.
Should I check employee and employer amounts separately?
Yes. The review becomes clearer when you distinguish what was deducted from the employee and what the employer was supposed to add.
