the designated employer of a person who is an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(2), 18(3) or 18(5) of the Act must pay as contributions to CSC an amount equal to 15.4% of the superannuation salary of the member.
 2.2.1AA  Rule 2.2.1 does not apply to the designated employer of an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member who is the designated employer only because of the operation of item 5A of the table in subsection 19(2) of the Act.

Note:   Rule 2.2.1 requires the designated employer of a person who is an ordinary employer‑sponsored member under subsection 18(2), 18(3) or 18(5) of the Act to pay basic employer contributions if the particular employment or office is in relation to the person's membership under these subsections.

        A designated employer of a person who is an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member, but is not an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsections 18(2), (3) or (5), is not required to pay contributions under this Rule.

        A person can be an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsections 18(2), 18(3) or 18(5) of the Act in addition to being an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member for former member under subsection 18(7) or 18(8A)(that is, in respect of concurrent non-Commonwealth employment). Only the designated employer in relation to the employment or office which gives rise to the membership under subsections 18(2), (3) or (5) (that is, the Commonwealth employer) is required to pay basic employer contributions under Rule 2.2.1.

        See Rule 2.2.1A for contributions by a designated employer in respect of other employment or offices held by a person who is an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(7) or 18(8A) of the Act (that is, an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member).

 2.2.1A  Subject to Rule 2.2.1B, the designated employer of an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member may pay contributions to CSC in respect of the member, and those contributions are basic employer contributions.
Note:   This Rule allows the designated employer of a person who is an eligible PSSAP member or an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member (that is, an ordinary employer‑sponsored member under either subsection 18(7) or 18(8A) of the Act) to make contributions to PSSAP, including in relation to satisfying their obligations under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.

        See Rule 2.2.1 for contributions by a designated employer of a person who is an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(2), 18(3) or 18(5) of the Act, in respect of particular employment or the holding of a statutory office that relates to one of these subsections.
