Definitions

- After reviewing the Salary Packaging Program – Benefits Guide, any staff member who would like to enter into an agreement relating to superannuation, should make application to Remuneration Services at JCU on the JCU prescribed form.
- It is important that staff members seek their own independent professional legal, financial and taxation advice before entering into any salary sacrificing arrangement. The University accepts no liability for staff members failing to obtain advice on financial matters concerning their remuneration.
- All costs associated with salary packaging (including establishment and administration fees) are the financial responsibility of the staff member and are to be met by the staff member, including in circumstances such as leave without pay or termination of employment.
3. Finalising, amending, or ceasing a Salary Packaging Program agreement
- Where a Salary Packaging Program agreement is due to conclude, or where the staff member wishes to amend the agreement, or where the staff member’s work arrangements may impact the agreement (e.g. participating in leave without pay) the staff member should contact nlc directly (excluding superannuation).
- Any staff member who would like to amend or cease an agreement relating to superannuation should make application on the JCU prescribed form, as amended from time to time.
- An agreement set for the purposes of superannuation, will cease automatically on cessation of employment.
- Where a staff member is ceasing employment with the University, the staff member should contact nlc directly.
- Any outstanding amount for salary packaged items will need to be cleared prior to departing from the University and before the termination payment is processed.
