Whilst working for an agency, superannuation will be contributed by your agency to your nominated superannuation fund.
The ability to contribute to funds such as Q Super is important and extremely relevant given the recent Global Financial crisis. A simple calculation based upon any casual worker grossing (pre tax) a wage of $450 per calendar month results in a contribution by the agency of 9 percent of the gross wage earned into the nominated superannuation fund.
This access to funds that were previously not available simply means you, as a fund member, can contribute to one fund with a greater return. A simple calculation of the size of the superannuation contribution and the length of time it is invested will result in a better payout at the end of your working life.
A better quality of life.
The ability to track down lost or unclaimed superannuation is available to all Australian workers.
Part of the take home lesson learned from the Global financial crisis is the relevance of knowing about where to find solid strategies to give you a good quality of life even after the working phase has finished.
For anyone who has taken more than a casual look at their superannuation statements in the past three years and shaken their heads as the figures have run in reverse, at First Choice Care, the philosophy is simple:
Super is on time, every time.
We encourage consolidation as, in the context of superannuation, there is no such thing as having all you eggs in one basket.
