Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the entity ’ s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period . Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled . Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits . In determining the liability , consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements . Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows .
Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred .
