Employers

Receiving a Fine Collection Notice for the redirection of earnings from SPER means that you, as the employer, are required to deduct the weekly amount as noted on the Fine Collection Notice, and pay that to the Registrar of SPER.

Should the employee have any queries or concerns regarding their SPER matters or the issue of this Fine Collection Notice, advise them to contact SPER.

The Employer's Guide (PDF File, 87.5 KB) provides you with essential information along with your obligations and duties. This guide includes frequently asked questions, your responsibilities, important information on the protected earnings amount (PEA), examples of how to work out the amount of money you can deduct, how to make payments to SPER and contact details.

The following Fine Collection Notice forms are to be used when sending information to SPER:

Return of Non-payment SPER3010 (PDF File, 41.9 KB) – This form should be completed when money cannot be remitted to SPER for a reason other than cessation of employment.

For more information on the use of these forms, refer to the Employer's Guide.
