This is applicable to all employees in Australia, whether employed at
OT or anywhere else.
The date of 27 Nov 2003 was the latest possible date by which your
employer must give you an explicit statement of what has been paid to
your super fund, your membership number, and the contact details for
that fund (most OT statements would mention MLC as the fund). This
covers the period from 1 July to 30 Sept 2003, which should have been
paid by 28 Oct 2003.
However, I understand that OT have not made the payment as required.
The advice commonly found in payslips is usually not sufficient for
the purpose, as the money has not left the employer's hands when the
payslips are generated.
This is the first time such a statement has been required by law.
If you have not got a statement, make some enquiries.
