This exclusion means these telecom employees are treated differently from other Commonwealth employees who may receive superannuation contributions based on productivity gains\n- **When it took effect**: 1 July 1990"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4","history":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4/history","analysis":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/productivity-employee-exclusion-declaration-no-4/documents"}}
