When are productivity contributions payable
4.3.1 A designated employer is required to pay to CSC a fortnightly productivity contribution in relation to a member on each contribution due day the member is employed by that designated employer.

Note:  A contribution due day is a day on which a member is required to pay contributions or a day on which a member is a no‑TFN member or a zero contributions member and would have been required to pay contributions if they were not a no‑TFN member or zero contributions member respectively.

Amount of productivity contributions
4.3.2 The amount of the fortnightly productivity contribution payable in relation to a member is to be determined in accordance with Rules 4.3.5 to 4.3.7, having regard to the Fortnightly Amount shown opposite the Amount of Applicable Fortnightly Rate of Salary in the following Table (as amended by determination of CSC under Rule 4.3.3 from time to time).

Table — Productivity Contribution Rates

Amount of Applicable Fortnightly Rate of Salary     Fortnightly Amount
Less than $985.33                                   $29.56
$985.33 or more but less than $1,587.33             The amount that is 3% of the member's  salary per fortnight
$1587.33 or more but less than $2,381.00            $47.62
$2,381.00 or more                                   The amount that is 2% of the member's  salary per fortnight

4.3.3 CSC will, by determination, amend the amounts shown in the Table Productivity Contribution Rates in Rule 4.3.2 with effect from 1 July each year to reflect changes, if any, in the general salary levels of members.
4.3.4 If CSC and a designated employer have agreed under Rule 4.1.7 to substitute other days in lieu of contribution days for payments of contributions by or on behalf of members, CSC will assess the productivity contribution payable each substituted day in accordance with the formula:
                  where:

                  Productivity Contribution is the fortnightly productivity contribution in accordance with the Table Productivity Contribution Rates in Rule 4.3.2 in respect of the member; and

                  Pay Period is the number of days between substituted payment days plus one day.

    (a) is a regular member on the contribution due day; and
