can employers reduce gross salary to fund for 5% super increase?

Question

has guided you to some interesting information. They are also correct to say could be rather than is. Ultimately it will depend on what your award, agreement or contract says. It may also depend on the rules of your super fund. Things to look out for include how your super is currently paid. For example, are you paid a salary package inclusive of super or are you paid a salary plus super? If your employer's super contributions are currently 'above and beyond' or in addition to your pay, it's unlikely that they could reduce your pay to increase the contributions.
