Page 2 of 6
(3)  Extra Duty/Electoral Allowance

(a)	An employee is entitled to payment of an allowance provided in clause 8.1 of the Contract of Employment, in recognition that staff generally perform electoral duties and work hours in excess of the hours of duty as provided in clause 11.1 of the Contract of Employment.

(b) 	The allowance will be paid by fortnightly instalments at the rate of $3000 for a full year for a full-time employee.  Where the period of the Agreement set out in item 3 of the Schedule to the Contract of Employment is less than one (1) year, the full year allowance will be paid on a pro-rata basis.

(c)	In the case of part-time employees, the amounts specified in paragraph 3(b) are to be reduced by the ratio of part-time hours to full-time hours.

(4)  Leave Loading

(a)	An employee is entitled to the payment of a leave loading as provided for in clause 22.1 of the Contract of Employment.

(b)	Leave loading may be paid as an additional annual allowance which will accrue and be paid by fortnightly instalments, or by a lump sum.  In the case of a lump sum a pro-rata payment may be made when five (5) days accrued leave is taken.

(c)	If an entitlement to a leave loading is provided, an employee shall be entitled to an amount of annual leave loading which is the lesser of:

(i)	fortnightly salary divided by fortnightly hours, multiplied by the number of hours recreation leave accrued per year multiplied by 0.175; or

(ii)	the maximum leave bonus, as at 1 January of the year of payment, as specified in accordance with the Australian Government Employment (Recreation Leave – Additional Payment) Award 1986, made by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in accordance with the former Industrial Relations Act 1988 (Cwlth), as varied from time to time.

(d)	In the case of part-time employees, the amounts specified in paragraph 4(c) are to be reduced by the ratio of part-time hours to full-time hours.

(5)  Superannuation

(a)	An employee, who is a member of a superannuation fund administered by the Commonwealth, will not be entitled to have any employer funded superannuation contributions made on his or her behalf to any fund, apart from those required under the superannuation fund administered by the Commonwealth.

(b)	Subject to paragraph 5(a) the Contract of Employment will provide for payment of an employer contribution equal to sixteen percent (16%) of gross annual salary to a complying superannuation fund, as set out in Section 45 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cwlth).

Page 3 of 6
(6)  Severance Benefits

(a)	An employee whose employment is terminated other than through resignation or for an offence which in the view of the Chief Minister, or a person authorised by the Chief Minister for this purpose, would have led to dismissal is entitled to be paid:

(i)	a sum equal to four (4) weeks’ salary irrespective of length of service; plus

(ii)	a sum equal to two (2) weeks’ salary for each completed year of continuous service, plus a pro-rata payment for additional completed months of service, up to a maximum of forty eight (48) weeks’ salary.

(ii)	who are taken to be on leave without pay from the Australian Capital Territory Public Service; or

(iii)	who are engaged for fixed periods to fill a vacancy caused by a staff member being absent on leave, or to fill a substantive vacancy pending a permanent appointment.

(c)	A person who receives severance benefits under this provision and who is subsequently re-employed under the Act, shall repay to the employer the severance benefit received to the extent that his or her re-employment covers the same period of time as his or her severance benefit.  

For example, where a person’s employment is terminated under this provision and he or she is entitled to severance benefits equal to 10 weeks’ gross annual salary but is subsequently re-employed 8 weeks after termination then the amount of severance benefit repayable under this provision would be severance benefits equal to 2 weeks’ gross annual salary.

(7)  Long Service Leave

(a)	Under clause 25.1 of the Contract of Employment the employee may elect to receive an additional annual allowance calculated at two and one half percent (2.5%) of gross annual salary provided in paragraph 2(b), in lieu of the accrual of Long Service Leave.  If an employee elects to receive an annual allowance in lieu of Long Service Leave the entitlement to accrue Long Service Leave is forgone during the period of employment covered by the Contract of Employment.

(b)	An employee who makes no election under paragraph 7(a) shall accrue Long Service Leave.

(c)	An employee who accrues Long Service Leave under a Contract of Employment entered into on or since 1 July 1997, whose employment under the Act is terminated, shall be entitled to payment in lieu of Long Service Leave accrued since 1 July 1997, provided he or she has completed not less than one (1) year of full or part time service under the Act.

(a)	Under clause 24.1 of the Contract of Employment an employee is entitled to receive an accrual of annual leave for each completed month of service.  Accrual will be at the rate of one and two third (1 2/3) days per completed month of service.
