employer‑sponsored member not covered by a workplace agreement, a pre‑reform certified agreement, a pre‑reform AWA, an AWA, a remuneration determination, an enterprise agreement, or a workplace determination.
Note:  Rule 2.2.2 and Rule 2.2.3 are only relevant to a person in relation to the employment or office which gives rise to the person being an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(2), (3) or (5) of the Act (that is, their Commonwealth employment).

       A person can be an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(2), 18(3) or 18(5) of the Act in addition to being an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(7) (an eligible PSSAP member), or 18(8A) (an eligible CSS/PSS member or former member) of the Act in respect of concurrent non-Commonwealth employment.

   Additional employer contributions

 2.2.4 In addition to the amounts required to be paid by the designated employer under Rule 2.2.1, the designated employer of an ordinary employer‑sponsored member under subsection 18(2), (3) or (5) of the Act may pay additional contributions to CSC in respect of that member, where the method of payment complies with any CSC determination under Rule 2.2.5.  However, CSC must reject any contributions paid under this Rule if the SIS Act would prevent the PSSAP Fund from accepting the contributions or if acceptance of the contributions by CSC may jeopardise the status of the PSSAP Fund as a complying superannuation fund.
      Note:   This Rule allows the designated employer of a person who is an ordinary employer-sponsored member under subsection 18(2), (3) or (5) of the Act to make contributions for or on behalf of the person in addition to any contributions the employer is required to pay under Rule 2.2.1 as basic employer contributions.

       Circumstances where an employer may make additional employer contributions include, but are not limited to:

 2.2.4A Subject to Rule 2.2.4B, the designated employer of a current government scheme member may pay salary sacrifice contributions to CSC in respect of that member:
           (a) where the current government scheme member has elected a particular investment strategy; and
           (b) where CSC has accepted the election made by the current government scheme member to choose a particular investment strategy; and
           (c) where the method of payment complies with any CSC determination under Rule 2.2.5.
Note:  This rule allows employers to make contributions as a result of salary sacrifice arrangements with an employee. Salary sacrifice contributions are the only contributions the employer of a current government scheme member can make to the PSSAP Fund.

       CSC must only accept salary sacrifice contributions under this Rule if the person they are in respect to was an Australian government superannuation scheme member at the time the contributions
