Contributions return checklist

The contribution return is provided as an aid to assist you in preparing a correct monthly payment. It is not a billing statement. You should check all the following each month to avoid mistakes and delays.

Is your monthly contribution return complete?

Your contribution return should show the name, date of birth, membership number, the number of weeks' contributions and the total amount of contributions enclosed for each member with the appropriate break up. If you have a new employee, write in all their details obtained either from the application or the membership card. If the printed information for any member is incomplete, add the information missing.

Cross off Members who have not been employed during the month including the date they terminated. Show all payments and totals. Ensure your cheque is made payable to "CONNECT" or make your payment via EmployerAccess or BPAY. Any missing items or details can mean unnecessary delays.

Are your calculations correct?

Please double-check the total of contributions you are making and ensure that this coincides with the sum paid.

Have you included a new member application form?

• When a new employee joins, always ensure that if they are not already Members of CONNECT, they complete a Membership Application Form. Attach these to your next contribution forms.
• If your contribution return shows that no application form has been received for an employee, please ask the employee to complete another form as soon as possible and attach it to your next contribution return. Without a signed application form CONNECT cannot pay out your benefits.
• If you require more Membership Application Forms you should contact the CONNECT Administration Service on 1800 025 464 (freecall). Or indicate the number requested in section 1 on the back of your return under the "New Member Listing".
