Basis of Calculating Contributions<br />
In accordance with the Trust Deeds, employer contributions are calculated as a percentage of the employee’s salary.<br />
Separate contributions are determined for the various schemes involved. The minimum rate of employer<br />
contribution for all participating employees is the Superannuation Guarantee of 9%. The unfunded superannuation<br />
liability in respect to members of State Superannuation schemes is shown as a liability separately by the<br />
Department of Treasury and Finance. HESTA is an accumulation fund and has advised that the scheme is regarded<br />
as being fully funded. There are no loans to the employer from any employee superannuation funds. There were no<br />
contributions outstanding at the end of the financial year (Nil - 2003-<strong>2004</strong>).<br />
