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.<\/p><p>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.
