Frank Francis has sent these details of a new Superannuation scheme for Sunnyfield's disabled employees. Families with members who work at Sunnyfield should have received various letters on this matter already.
In December 2009 the Australian Industrial Relations Commission released the final version of the Supported Employment Services Award 2010. This Award covers employers throughout Australia who operate supported employment services and their employees (including supported employees).
Changes in the Award included the following provision effective from 1st January 2010:
“where an employee with a disability is being paid less than $450 per month, superannuation contributions for such employees will be either 3% of their ordinary earnings or $6.00 per week whichever is the greater”.
Prior to 1st January 2010 there was no provision to pay superannuation for employees earning less than $450 per month.
In January 2010 advice outlining the superannuation enhancements to wages was attached to the payslips of all our supported employees. In February 2010 Asset Super, Sunnyfield’s default superannuation fund, issued a further explanation notice to members, parents and guardians via our supported employees home address.
Sunnyfield’s Client Relationship Manager at Asset Super is Lee Surace and he may be contacted on (02) 8923 0511 or 0438 248880 or by email to Isurace@assetsuper.com.au.
