Continuing and fixed-term employees will receive employer superannuation contributions equal to 17% of their superannuable salary.
Casual employees are entitled to the minimum employer superannuation contribution as provided for by the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.
The University’s preferred fund is UniSuper. If an employee does not choose an alternative complying fund to receive employer superannuation contributions, or the University is not otherwise required by law to make contributions to an alternative fund, the University will make contributions to UniSuper.
The management of superannuation arrangements, including but not limited to the following will be in accordance with the University policy and procedures for superannuation as amended from time to time for:
arrangements for pre-tax contributions, and
arrangements for employees who have been granted approval for leave of any type on half pay or leave without pay with respect to maintenance of employee or employer contribution.
An employee who is entitled to employer superannuation contribution equal to 17% of their Salary and is a member of UniSuper can elect to receive minimum employer superannuation contributions instead of 17% employer superannuation contributions to the extent permitted by the UniSuper Trust Deed. The combined amount of the employee’s Salary and other payments and employer superannuation contributions will not be diminished if an employee elects to receive minimum employer superannuation contributions in accordance with this sub-clause. When being provided with the option in this clause, the employee (or prospective employee) must be provided with the option of receiving 17% employer contributions.
The University will provide new continuing and fixed-term employees with access to UniSuper’s digital choice of superannuation form. The University will provide information to casual employees about UniSuper when making an offer of employment.
Continuing and fixed term employees who are members or prospective members of UniSuper will be permitted to attend an individual, financial advice appointment with UniSuper, on paid work time, once per calendar year. Employees will arrange such appointments having regard to the operational needs of the work area.
