(6) The Governor may, by order in writing, declare unconditionally, or subject to conditions, that subsection (7) applies— (a) to a contributor specified in the order who is on secondment but not to another employer, and

4A Salary of executive officers

(1) Definition of salary For the purposes of this Act, the salary of an executive officer is the salary as last nominated or changed in accordance with this section.

(2) Nomination of salary on initial and subsequent appointments An amount of salary for the purposes of this Act must be nominated to an executive officer’s employer by the officer, on, or as soon as practicable after, being appointed as an executive officer. An amount may also be nominated to the officer’s employer by the officer on, or as soon as practicable after, being reappointed, or appointed to another position, as an executive officer.

(3) Amount of salary The amount nominated is to be not less than the monetary remuneration payable to the executive officer at the date of nomination and not more than the total value of the remuneration package paid to the officer (less the cost of providing employer’s contributions to superannuation, other than salary sacrifice contributions, under this Act and the State Authorities Non-contributory Superannuation Act 1987 and any performance-related incentive payment).

(4) Failure to nominate salary If an executive officer fails to nominate an amount of salary within 28 days of first being appointed as an executive officer or within such further period as STC may allow, the officer is taken to have nominated an amount of salary that is equal to the monetary remuneration payable to the officer at the end of the applicable period.

(5) Reduction in nominated salary An executive officer may, from time to time, by notice to the officer’s employer elect to reduce the amount of salary nominated under this section, but not so that the amount is less than the monetary remuneration payable to the officer at the date of the election.

(6) Increase in nominated salary An executive officer may, from time to time, by notice to the officer’s employer elect to increase the amount of salary nominated under this section, but not so as to increase the amount nominated by a percentage of that amount that is more than the percentage by which the remuneration package of the officer has increased since the amount of salary was last nominated or changed.

Current version for 2 September 2019 to date (accessed 11 February 2020 at 09:24) Page 14 of 104 State Authorities Superannuation Act 1987 No 211 [NSW]

(7) Nominations and elections An employer must notify STC of a nomination or election under this section. Any such nomination or election takes effect on the date of notification to STC or on such other date as STC may determine with the consent of the executive officer concerned.

(8) Effect of changes in packages Nothing in this section requires the nominated amount of salary to be increased if, because of a variation in the remuneration package of an executive officer or in the proportions of the remuneration package comprising monetary remuneration and employment benefits of the officer, the amount of salary as last nominated or changed for the purposes of this section is less than the monetary remuneration of the officer.

(9) Transitional provision relating to nomination of salary by executive officers An executive officer may, within 3 months after the commencement of this subsection, nominate a new amount of salary in accordance with this section if, immediately before the commencement of this subsection, the officer was an executive officer.

(10) Monetary remuneration In this section, the monetary remuneration payable to an executive officer is— (a) if the officer is a Public Service senior executive or a police executive officer, the monetary remuneration payable in accordance with the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 or the Police Act 1990, as the case requires, or
