10  Liability of Department to pay employer contributions
 (1) The Department must, on each salary pay‑day on which a member pays contributions, pay to CSC an employer contribution in relation to the member.
 (1AA) To avoid doubt, the Department's obligation to pay an employer contribution in relation to a member continues even if:
 (a) the member has not provided his or her tax file number to CSC; or
 (b) CSC returns a contribution of the member under rule 11QA.
 (1A) Subrule (1) does not apply in relation to a contribution made under Part 14.
 (2) In spite of a member paying contributions during a period of leave without pay to which rule 7 applies, subrule (1) does not apply:
 (aa) in the case of a period of leave without pay referred to in subparagraph 7(2)(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) or paragraph 7(2)(b) that exceeds 12 months—to any part of the excess period; or
 (ab) in the case of a period of leave without pay referred to in subrule 7(2A); or
 (b) in the case of a period of leave without pay referred to in subrule 7(3).
 (3) The amount of an employer contribution payable by the Department in relation to a member is an amount that is 3 per centum of the amount of the salary payable to the member in respect of the relevant fortnight.
