9 SUPERANNUATION9.3 STATE AUTHORITIES SUPERANNUATION SCHEME (SASS)9.3.1 INTRODUCTIONThe State Authorities Superannuation Scheme (SASS) is a defined benefit scheme governed bythe State Authorities Superannuation Act 1987, the State Authorities Non-contributorySuperannuation Act 1987 and the Superannuation Administration Act 1996. It is administered byPillar on behalf of the scheme’s Trustee.9.3.2 MEMBERSHIP OF SASSFrom 1 July 1985 new employees were eligible to join the State Public Service SuperannuationScheme (SPSSS). The SPSSS was replaced by SASS which started on 1 April 1988. Membersof SPSSS transferred to SASS with existing entitlements.SASS closed to new members on 18 December 1992.As there is some variation to the standard features of the scheme for members who transferredinto SASS from the older, closed schemes, these members should check their individualcircumstances with the Pillar Customer Service Centre before making any decisions on theoptions that may be available to them.Members of SASS can choose to make personal ("top up") contributions to First State Super(FSS).9.3.3 SASS CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MEMBERS ON UNPAID LEAVE9.3.3.1 “Prescribed Leave”"Prescribed leave” is a period of leave without pay during which the member:• is on sick leave without pay *;• gets workers' compensation payments;• is on maternity/adoption leave without pay *;• is seconded to a non-fund employer;• does union duties (six months or less, approved by the Department);• does approved duties for the Department or the State;• is on service with the naval, military or air forces of the Commonwealth;• is on approved study leave without pay* (with financial assistance only).* The Commonwealth’s occupational superannuation standards prohibit employersponsoredsuperannuation funds from accepting contributions for persons who havenot been employed either full-time or part-time (at least ten hours a week) during theprevious two years. From 1 January 1994, a continuous period of "prescribed leave"for more than two years of sick, maternity, adoption and study leave without payceases to be "prescribed leave" and Pillar must be advised. The member cannotelect to pay the employer contributions during this period.Handbook for non teaching staff in schools Page 9 − 4
9 SUPERANNUATIONPillar is not advised of "prescribed leave" and members have two options for paymentof contributions:Option (a)The member can apply to Pillar on the grounds of financial hardship, to reduce theirpersonal contributions to as low as 0% for a limited period. The election must besubmitted within three months of the member:• being advised of the amount of arrears owing for the period of leave without pay;or• starting on workers compensation payments (providing the payments are lessthan the member’s normal salary).If the application is approved for 0%, the contributions are not payable, the perioddoes not count as service and benefit points do not accrue.Option (b)The member pays their normal personal contributions, for the whole period, at therate that applied before he or she started the leave without pay, to the Department.The member does not have to pay the employer contributions to the Department, andthe period of leave counts for benefit point accrual and the employer-financed benefit.Additional benefit cover contributions (if they apply) continue to be charged to themember’s account.The member pays their personal contributions to the Department in a lump sum inadvance, in regular fortnightly payments in advance, or in regular fortnightly paymentsduring the period of leave.9.3.3.2 Full-time Leave Without PayWhole calendar months of full-time leave without pay do not count as contributoryservice. Personal contributions are not paid and no employer-financed benefitaccrues. The member continues to pay full contributions for part months and theemployer-financed benefit accrues.Generally, leave without pay of more than five continuous days does not count forservice for the calculation of the basic benefit.9.3.4 SASS CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MEMBERS ON PART-TIME LEAVE WITHOUT PAY ORCHANGED WORK ARRANGEMENTSThe amount of personal contribution is adjusted on the basis of the new salary if a memberchanges:• from permanent full-time to part-time work;• from permanent part-time to full-time work;• permanent part-time hours worked;• takes part-time leave without pay, including part-time parental leave without pay and studyleave without pay (more than five days full-time equivalent).Handbook for non teaching staff in schools Page 9 − 5
