Contributions 

The current CIP Major Projects contribution rates are:   

  • QUEENS WHARF - From first pay period of March 2022 - $50.00 per person, per week (including GST)
  • QUEENS WHARF - From first pay period of March 2023 - $52.00 per person, per week (including GST)

Employers are required to pay the contribution per week (no pro-rata) for each employee in accordance with the Constitution. Contributions for each month can be submitted from the 1st of the new month and are due no later than the last working day of the next month. Contributions must be maintained for all workers while they are on EBA Major Project sites, or when a worker has lodged a claim under the fund or is on approved leave.

Contributions must be maintained for all workers regardless of the absence I.e. on WorkCover, annual leave, leave without pay. The constitution requires weekly payments to be contributed whilst the employee is employed, or when a worker has lodged a claim under the fund. This is an insurance product and if monthly contributions are not maintained workers will have no insurance cover for those periods where there have been no payments.
