Explanatory notes
• Salary for superannuation purposes – is generally the actual salary received on a permanent basis
on the anniversary of your date of birth plus any allowances that are recognised as salary under
the legislation. However, it may also comprise the ‘adjusted’ salary and/or ‘adjusted’ allowances
that are included as a consequence of previously accepted recognised increase, such as HDA or
allowances, that have now ceased to be payable. You can obtain more information on the eligibility
of, and qualifications for, any allowances which may be included in your superannuation salary and
the method for updating a previous higher salary for superannuation purposes by contacting your
personnel section.
• Basic Contributions – In the CSS, you can decide how much you contribute – either 5% of your
salary or you can choose not to contribute at all (0%). These rates are referred to as your basic
contributions, and form the basis for many benefit calculations.
• Supplementary Contributions – are optional contributions that can be paid in addition to your basic
contributions as either a one off amount or on a fortnightly basis. A contributor may elect at any time
to increase or decrease the rate of supplementary contributions. The variation in contributions is
payable from the payday following the date of election. The payment of supplementary contributions
will in no way increase the employer component of your benefit but will be refunded with Fund
earnings (if applicable) and may in some circumstances be used to buy non–indexed pension under
the scheme.
