(No. IRC 1854 of 2005)

 

Before Commissioner Bishop

22 June 2005

 

VARIATION

 

1.          Delete clause 36, Salary Sacrifice to Superannuation, of clause 1, Arrangement, of the award published 22 February 2002 (331 I.G. 709), and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

36.       Superannuation

 

2.          Delete clause 36, Salary Sacrifice to Superannuation, an insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

36.  Superannuation

 

A.        Superannuation

 

(i)         The employer shall contribute to a superannuation fund on behalf of each eligible employee.

 

The "superannuation fund" for the purpose of this award shall mean:-

 

(a)        Local Government Superannuation Scheme (LGSS), or

 

Health Employees Superannuation Trust Australia (HESTA), or

 

Health Super.

 

The default fund is the Local Government Superannuation Scheme (LGSS).

 

(ii)        Upon commencement of employment, the employer shall provide each employee with membership forms for each of the above funds.  In the event that the employee does not nominate a fund, the Employer shall forward contributions and employee details to the default superannuation fund.

 

B.         Salary Sacrifice to Superannuation

 

(i)         Notwithstanding the salaries prescribed in Part-B, as varied from time to time, of  this award, an employee may elect, subject to the agreement of the employer, sacrifice a portion of the salary payable under Part-B of the award to additional employer superannuation contributions.  Such election must be made prior to the commencement of the period of service to which the earnings relate.  The amount sacrificed must not exceed thirty (30) per cent of the salary payable under Part-B or thirty (30) per cent of the currently applicable superannuable salary, whichever is the lesser.

 

In this clause, "superannuable salary" means - the employee’s salary as notified from time to time to the superannuation trustee corporations.

 

(ii)        Where the employee has elected to sacrifice a portion of that payable salary to additional employer superannuation contributions:

 

(a)        subject to Australian Taxation Law, the sacrificed portion of salary will reduce the salary subject to appropriate PAYE taxation deductions by the amount of that sacrificed portion; and

 

(b)       any allowance, penalty rate, overtime, payment for unused leave entitlements, weekly worker’s compensation, or other payment, other than any payment for leave taken in service, to which an employee is entitled under the award or any applicable Act or Statute which is expressed to be determined by reference to an employee’s salary, shall be calculated by reference to the salary which would have applied to the employee under the award in the absence of any salary sacrifice to superannuation made under this award.

 

(iii)       The employee may elect to have the portion of payable salary which is sacrificed to additional employer superannuation contributions.

 

(a)        paid into the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, Health Super, or HESTA as the optional employer contributions subject to the employer being recognised as a participating employer;  or

 

(b)       subject to the employers agreement, paid into private sector complying superannuation scheme as employer superannuation contributions.

 

(iv)       Where an employee elects to salary sacrifice in terms of subclause (iii) above, the employer will pay the sacrificed amount into the relevant superannuation fund.

 

(v)        Where, prior to electing to sacrifice a portion of his/her salary to superannuation, an employee had entered into an agreement with his/her employer to have superannuation contributions made to a superannuation fund other than a fund established under legislation listed in subclause (iii) above, the employer will continue to base contributions to that fund on the salary payable under Part-B of the award to the same extent as applied before the employee sacrificed portion of that salary to superannuation. This clause applies even though the superannuation contributions made by the employer may be in excess of the superannuation guarantee requirements after the salary sacrifice is implemented.

 

3.          Delete Table 1 - Salary Rates, of Part B, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

PART B
