Superannuation - Employer Contributions
Description
UniSuper members have the option to convert their existing UniSuper Defined Benefit Division/Accumulations Super2 Employer Contributions to pre tax contributions. The converted contributions are then considered to be employer sponsored benefits.

- Superannuation benefits will continue to be based on gross salary before deductions are made
- The contributions will be subject to preservation requirements
It is recommended that you seek financial advice before packaging superannuation.
