A Legal / Superannuation Question

Post by Fadingtoblack »

Some of you might be aware that I was recently sacked without notice under questionable circumstances from a swimming coaching job I've been doing for quite a few years now.

Well the latest development is that they are now trying to stooge me out of Superannuation payments by saying that I was a "Employee paid to do work of a domestic or private nature for not more than 30 hours a week. For example, a part-time nanny or housekeeper.”
That quote is from here: http://www.ato.gov.au/super/content.asp ... age=13&H13

Now while I already know that this is incorrect, a swimming coach employed by a registered swimming club to coach kids at a public swimming pool is hardly domestic or private, I was wondering if anybody knew the exact definition of Private or Domestic employment.


I will call the tax office after the weekend but I'd be interested to know what our resident legal eagles have to say on the subject!


Thanks in advance :D
