salary sacrificing

[HotI]

Salary Sacrifice if working for a public hospital is awesome. There is heaps you can salary sacrifice, up to a certain amount of money.

I SS my mortgage, so basically they took out $250 (can't remember exact amount whatever the limit was at that time) from my pay before they calculated the tax. They then deducted the tax amount, and then added the $250 back in. this amount when in my account. You can also have it going int to a seperate account (ie straight to bank) if you want.

sorry to hijack but can anyone salary sacrifice if they work full time? does an employer HAVE to offer it? i work for a private specialist?
