deductions to continue.
17. Superannuation
17.1 All Employees
shall be entitled to occupational superannuation at the appropriate
Superannuation Guarantee Contribution (SGC) rate for all payments pursuant to
clause 15.2 Rates of Pay.
18. Salary Sacrifice
to Superannuation
18.1 Notwithstanding
the salaries prescribed by Schedule 1, Monetary Rates, an employee may elect,
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 Australian
Taxation law, the sacrificed portion of salary will reduce the salary subject
to appropriate PAYG taxation deductions by the amount of that sacrificed
portion; and
(b) any allowance,
penalty rate, payment for unused leave entitlements, weekly worker’s
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.
SECTION 5 - AWARD COMPLIANCE AND RELATED MATTERS
19. Nomination of
Unions' Representatives
19.1 In each marking
section union members will be permitted, at the commencement of marking, the
necessary time to meet for the purpose only of nominating a union
representative. Such meeting may be announced using a public address system (if
possible) provided that there is no undue disruption to other nearby markers.
20. Dispute Resolution
Procedures
20.1 Subject to the
provisions of the Industrial Relations
Act 1996:
20.1.1 Should any
dispute, question or difficulty arise concerning industrial matters occurring
in a particular workplace, then the employee or the union’s workplace
representative will raise the matter with relevant Supervisor of Marking as
soon as practicable.
20.1.2 The Supervisor of
Marking will discuss the matter with the employee or the union’s workplace
representative with a view to resolving the matter or by negotiating an agreed
method and time frame for proceeding.
20.1.3 Should the above
procedure be unsuccessful in producing a resolution of the dispute, question or
difficulty or should the matter be of a nature which involves multiple
workplaces, then the employee or the union may raise the matter with the
Director with a view to resolving the dispute, question or difficulty or by
negotiating an agreed method and time frame for proceeding.
20.1.4 Where the
procedures in the preceding paragraph do not lead to resolution of the dispute,
question or difficulty, the matter will be referred to the Chief Executive

the respective unions. They or their nominees will discuss the dispute,
question or difficulty with a view to resolving the matter or by negotiating an
agreed method and time frame for proceeding.
20.1.5 Should the above
procedures not lead to a resolution, then either party may apply to the
Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales.
20.2 Whilst the
procedures outlined in clause 20.1 of this clause are being followed, normal

continue unless otherwise agreed between the parties, or, in the case involving

with the fulfilment of these obligations for the parties to make application to
vary any provision of the award which, by its terms or operation, has a direct
or indirect discriminatory effect.

unlawful to victimise an employee because the employee has made or may make or
has been involved in a complaint of unlawful discrimination or harassment.
22.4 Nothing in this
clause is to be taken to affect:
(a) any conduct or
act which is specifically exempted from anti-discrimination legislation;
(b) offering or
providing junior rates of pay to persons under 21 years of age;
(c) any act or
practice of a body established to propagate religion which is exempted under
section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination

federal jurisdiction.

not create legal rights or obligations in addition to those imposed upon the
parties by the legislation referred to in this clause.

that employer which might otherwise have been carried out by the other
employer’s own employees.
23.2 If the employer

wholly or partially on the employer’s premises, the employer shall do the

arises as to the application or implementation of this clause, the matter shall
