Schedule VI

 

Superannuation Contribution Arrangements

 

This Schedule is intended to ensure Principal Contractors are not subject to the cost of both providing rates that compensate for superannuation costs and separately making contributions upon a contract carrier’s behalf.

 

1.        Arrangement By Agreement

 

1.1      A Principal Contractor and Contract Carrier may enter an arrangement whereby the Principal Contractor makes superannuation contributions for the benefit of the Contract Carrier.

 

1.2      A Principal Contractor may deduct from any remuneration payable to the Contract Carrier an amount no greater than the contributions that the Principal Contractor is required to make under such an arrangement.

 

1.3      Any such arrangement must be reduced to writing and must set out:

 

(a)       the amount of the contribution (whether as a fixed amount, a percentage of the Contract Carriers remuneration, or a combination of both);

 

(b)      in what period the contributions will be made (monthly, quarterly etc); and

 

(c)       when the deductions are to be made.

 

1.4      Within 28 days of making superannuation contributions for a Contract Carrier’s benefit, the Principal Contractor must provide the Contract Carrier with a written statement setting out the amount of contributions made and the account into which they have been paid.

 

2.        Arrangement By Direction

 

2.1      A Principal Contractor may implement a superannuation arrangement without the agreement of a Contract Carrier if:

 

(a)       the Contract Carrier is not an incorporated entity; and

 

(b)      the Principal Contractor has a reasonably held belief that the payment of superannuation contributions for the benefit of the Contract Carrier is required to reduce a Superannuation Guarantee Charge liability that would otherwise accrue to the Principal Contractor.

 

2.2      An arrangement entered into in accordance with subclause 2.1 is subject to the following terms:

 

(a)       any deductions from a Contract Carrier’s remuneration must be made in the same pay period for which the Contract Carrier is remunerated for the relevant cartage work;

 

(b)      superannuation contributions must be made no later than 28 days after the end of the quarter in which the relevant cartage work was performed; and

 

(c)       superannuation contributions must be paid into:

 

(i)       a complying superannuation fund chosen by the Contract Carrier;

 

(ii)      the Contract Carrier's stapled superannuation fund (if the Contract Carrier does not choose a fund or if the Principal Contractor is not able to make contributions to the chosen fund); or

 

(iii)     TWUSuper (in the absence of a chosen or stapled superannuation fund into which the Principal Contractor can make contributions).

 

2.3      Within 28 days of making superannuation contributions for a Contract Carrier’s benefit, the Principal Contractor must provide the Contract Carrier with a written statement setting out the amount of contributions made and the account into which they have been paid

 

2.4      Any disputes concerning the operation of this Schedule are to be dealt with using the dispute resolution procedures at clause 9.

 

23.      This variation will take effect on 1 March 2022.
