subject to the agreement of the employee's department or agency, to sacrifice a
portion of the wage/salary payable under clause 15, Rates of Pay and
Allowances, to additional employer superannuation contributions. Such election must be made prior to the
commencement of the period of service to which the earnings relate. In this clause, "superannuable
salary" means the employee's salary as notified from time to time to the
New South Wales public sector superannuation trustee corporations.
18.2 Where the
employee has elected to sacrifice a portion of that payable salary to
additional employer superannuation contributions:
(a) subject to

compensation or other payment, other than any payments for leave taken in
service, to which an employee is entitled under this award or any applicable
award, 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 said clause 15 in the absence of any
salary sacrifice to superannuation made under this award.
18.3 The employee may
elect to have the portion of payable salary which is sacrificed to additional
employer superannuation contributions:
(a) paid into the
superannuation scheme established under the First State Superannuation Act 1992
as optional employer contributions; or
(b) subject to the
department or agency’s agreement, paid into a private sector complying
superannuation scheme as employer superannuation contributions.
18.4 Where an employee
makes an election in terms of subclause 18.3 of this clause, the employer shall
pay the portion of salary, the subject of election, to the relevant
superannuation fund.
18.5 Where the
employee is a member of a superannuation scheme established under:
(a) the Police
Regulation (Superannuation) Act 1906;
(b) the Superannuation
Act 1916;
(c) the State
Authorities Superannuation Act 1987;
(d) the State
Authorities Non-contributory Superannuation Act 1987; or
(e) the First State
Superannuation Act 1992,
the employee’s department or agency must ensure that
the amount of any additional employer superannuation contributions specified in
subclause 18.1 of this clause is included in the employee’s superannuable
salary which is notified to the New South Wales public sector superannuation
trustee corporations.
18.6 Where, prior to
electing to sacrifice a portion of his/her salary to superannuation, an
employee had entered into an agreement with his/her department or agency to
have superannuation contributions made to a superannuation fund other than a
fund established under legislation listed in subclause 18.5 of this clause, the
department or agency will continue to base contributions to that fund on the
salary payable under clause 15 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 department or agency may be in excess
of superannuation guarantee requirements after the salary sacrifice is
implemented.

Unions' Representatives

20. Dispute
Resolution Procedures
20.1 Subject to the
provisions of the Industrial Relations Act 1996:
20.1.1 Should any

soon as practicable.
20.1.2 The Supervisor of
