47 Payment of contributions by members during absences

47.1 If a member is absent from the service of the University, with or without remuneration from the University, the member is to pay, at his or her election, either in advance or by fortnightly payments, to the University in respect of that period of absence, an amount determined by the Council, not being an amount greater than:

 (a) in the case of an eligible member within the meaning of Part V—the aggregate of-

 (i) 1 1/4 % of the salary of the member for that period; and

 (ii) 3 1/4 times the amount of the contributions, if any, that would have been payable by the member during that period under Part V if he or she had not been so absent; or

 (b) in the case of a member who is contributing to the 1966 Supplementary Superannuation Benefits Fund—3 times the amount of the contributions that would have been payable by the member during that period to the Fund if he or she had not been so absent.

47.2 If a member fails to make an election under subsection 47.1, he or she is to be regarded as having elected to pay the amount referred to in that subsection by fortnightly payments.

47.3 In addition to the amount payable under subsection 47.1 by a member who is contributing to the 1966 Supplementary Superannuation Benefits Fund, there is payable by that member an amount equal to the amount (if any) paid into that Fund in respect of that member under a determination under paragraph 58.2(c).
