Part-time LWOP

If you take LWOP on a part-time basis, superannuation contributions are deducted from your part-time salary at the rate of 6% of your:

• equivalent full-time salary (attributed salary) during the first three months, and
• part-time salary during the remainder of the leave.

The first three months are treated as a period of full-time service for benefit purposes. Your service for the remaining period of part-time leave without pay accrues on a pro rata basis.

Any Additional Employer Contribution (AEC) that you may be eligible to receive will accrue at a reduced rate based on the salary ratio during periods of part time ordinary LWOP. During periods of part time special leave your AEC benefit will continue to accrue at the normal full time rate.

Please refer to PSS Fact Sheet 2: Contributions and superable salary for more information.
