Knowing your super obligations
Here's some key information you need to know as an employer
- You must pay at least 9.5% of your employee’s salary into their super fund if they’re eligible to receive Super Guarantee (SG) contributions (until 30 June 2016).
- To avoid penalties, employer SG contributions must be made before the quarterly cut-off dates set by the Australian Taxation Office.
- If your employee doesn’t nominate their own super fund, you must contribute their super into a MySuper account.
- You need to follow the SuperStream standard for super payments – the government standard for processing superannuation data and payments electronically.
