Detailed Outline
Keypoints
- The calculation of notional salary for the Senior Executive Service (SES) has been updated and details are provided below.
- The notional salary determines payments for accrued leave to SES officers on separation, non-SES acting in SES positions and the cashing out of leave for SES officers.
Notional salary is the total remuneration package less the employers required superannuation contribution under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth).
Superannuation Guarantee legislation requires quarterly employer contributions of at least 9% of ordinary time earnings, up to the maximum contribution base (MCB). The MCB is the salary level above which superannuation guarantee contributions are not required in respect of that officer.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has determined the MCB to be $40,170 per quarter ($160,680 per annum) from 1 July 2009.
From 1 July 2009, notional salary calculations are:
- If the Total Remuneration Package (TRP) is greater than $175,141.20 pa, the notional salary is the TRP less $14,461.20.
For example, if an SES officer is on a TRP of $200,000 then the notional salary is
$200,000 - $14,461.20 = $185,538.80.
- If the TRP is less than or equal to $175,141.20 pa, the notional salary is the TRP divided by 1.09.
For example, if an SES officer is on a TRP of $170,000 then the notional salary is
$170,000 รท 1.09 = $155,963.30.
