Salary Packaging

[Print-friendly version]

Salary Packaging (also referred to as Salary Sacrificing) is a key element of QUT’s remuneration and benefits framework. Salary Packaging allows eligible employees to arrange their salary so that a number of allowable benefits that would normally be purchased from post tax earnings are paid out of their pre-tax salary. The University has appointed PackagePlus Australia Pty Limited as its service provider for managing all aspects of salary packaging.

Note salary packaging to QUT approved superannuation funds are managed internally, the following link will provide further guidance http://www.hrd.qut.edu.au/benefits/super/  

 * (The in house bookshop and tuition fees can be claimed up to a maximum of $1000 each but if both benefits are packaged then a maximum of $1000 will apply for both benefits combined.)  
QUT will periodically review the portfolio of benefit items and reserves the right to make changes to this range to reflect taxation changes and ensure efficient and effective administration.

Senior Staff – Operating Leases

Senior Staff who are entitled to an Operating Lease (please contact HR to determine entitlement) are welcome to seek lease quotes from any lease provider. However QUT retains the right to refuse to engage in the lease contract, where the risk to the University of dealing with a particular provider is considered unacceptable. Senior Staff can contact the Senior Finance Officer – Salary Packaging via salary.package@qut.edu.au to seek a list of lease providers.
