(b) once every four weeks during the school year provided that it is paid at the end of the first fortnight and includes payment for two weeks in arrears and two weeks in advance; or

(c) once every month during the school year provided that such monthly payment will be made as nearly as possible on the middle of each month and provided that payment on a monthly basis will be one half month in arrears and one half month in advance.

19.2 In advance of the monies being earned, an employer may offer a teacher the opportunity for a proportion of the teacher’s wages and allowances to be paid as an employer contribution to the superannuation fund elected by the teacher. Both the employer’s offer and the teacher’s acceptance of that offer must be in writing. Any such employer contribution to a superannuation fund must be in addition to the employer’s obligation under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.
