Employers may make their monthly contributions by electronic contribution return (ECR) or by completion of a hard copy contribution advice.

Before the end of each month employers will receive a contribution advice form from Superpartners. This form is used to make payments to CIPQ.
A report from a computerised payroll can be used provided it contains all the information required by Superpartners.

The contribution advice lists the workers that were paid for last month provided the return was received by the due date*. The employer should add any new worker to the return and delete any worker that has been terminated.

Workers who have been terminated will not be listed if advice has been given to the Administrator on a previous contribution advice form. Those workers listed who have not been marked as terminated and received no contribution payment, will continue to appear on the next 3 month's contribution advices or until the worker is indicated as terminated.

Update the contribution advice by making the following adjustments: 

• cross off names of workers detailed on the contribution advice who have been terminated/or resigned and have not been engaged at any time during the month 
• advise the termination date of the workers who have terminated 
• once a worker is noted as terminated, a termination form (Refer forms) must be completed and signed by the employer and the form sent to SuperPartners for processing. 
• add the details of any new workers (membership number, name, date of birth, category, number of weeks employed and their starting date) 
•  if the printed information on any worker is incomplete, add the missing information
• ensure the worker category is correct for all workers
• amend any amounts in the "Weeks" and the "Employer Agreed" column if the worker did not work all weeks covered by the contribution advice

PLEASE NOTE:

• if a worker did not work all weeks, the actual weeks worked need to be noted on the return ie. nominate the period the worker worked. 
•  total each page

Contributions are to be paid by the participating employer for eligible workers while they are in your employment including while on annual leave, sick leave, bereavement leave, jury leave, long service leave and WorkCover.

A copy of the advice form is to be kept for the employer's record.  Employers must complete a contribution advice every month and send it to Superpartners. Where there are no workers for the period covered, a "NIL" return is to be completed.  Refer to back cover of the contribution advice for additional instructions on completion of the contribution advice.

*Contributions for a particular month are due on the last day of the month and must be paid by the 14th day of the following month. Cheques are to be made payable to CIPQ.
