# The Federated Superannuation System for Universities (Temporary Service) Regulations 1949, Note: Explanatory note


These Regulations are designed to put the person who has temporary Government service before being appointed to a permanent post superannuable under the Federated Superannuation Scheme for Universities so far as possible in the same position as the person who has unestablished service before being established under the Superannuation Acts. To achieve this a contribution (called the temporary service contribution) is to be paid; it is calculated as follows:—
1. A contribution of:—
(a) 5 per cent. of the salary and emoluments received during the period of temporary service (i.e. half the normal employer's contribution under F.S.S.U.) in respect of service rendered before 14th July, 1949.
(b) 10 per cent. of the salary and emoluments received during the period of temporary service (i.e. the full employer's contribution under F.S.S.U.) in respect of service rendered on or after 14th July, 1949 (the date after which unestablished service reckons in full under the Superannuation Acts).
2. Interest at 3 per cent. from the date when the temporary service was rendered to the date when the contribution is paid.
3. An optional contribution by the employee of up to one-half the contribution payable by the Department.
The total contribution will then be invested, as a lump sum, in a single premium policy under the F.S.S.U. for the employee's benefit.
