3% Non-Superannuable Salary Loading Option instead of 3% Employer Contribution to the Accumulation Account

Staff who are members of UniSuper's Defined Benefit Division or Accumulation 2 can elect to forego the 3% employer contribution to the UniSuper Accumulation Account and instead receive a 3% non-superannuable salary loading. As stated in the UniSuper Consolidated Trust Deed, undertaking this entitlement is only possible if one of the following employee contribution rates is maintained:

Before tax contribution rate

After tax contribution rate

8.25%

7.0%

7.70%

6.55%

6.55%

5.55%

5.35%

4.55%

4.20%

3.55%

3.0%

2.55%

A 2.55% employee contribution rate must be made to be eligible to receive the 3% non-superannuable loading.  Employees who have elected an employee contribution rate less than 2.55% are not eligible to receive the 3% non-superannuable salary loading.

Further information on contribution flexibility can be found in the Product Disclosure Statements: Defined Benefit Division and Accumulation 2 members and in the UniSuper Contribution Flexibility Fact Sheet for members receiving 14% Employer contributions.
