Set Up Employee Superannuation in the People Feature

Before You Begin: Ensure that you are familiar with the fields in the Payroll > Superannuation screen in People before you start this task. See Overview of Superannuation Settings in the People Feature.

To set up a superannuation for an employee in the People feature:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Payroll > Superannuation.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Complete the fields as needed.
  4. Click Save.

Enter the Minimum Threshold Amount for Employer Superannuation

Generally, the Superannuation Guarantee for Australian employees is paid after the employee has earned more than $450 in one month. You also have the option to enter a value between 1 - 449 to indicate the minimum threshold to calculate superannuation based on that amount instead of the standard 450 amount. For example, you can enter a value of 350 in compliance with the Hospitality Industry General Award (HIGA) and Restaurant Industry Award (RIA) which pays employer superannuation once an employee earns $350 a month.

To enter the minimum threshold amount for employer superannuation other than the standard $450 amount:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Payroll > Superannuation.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Minimum threshold amount for Employer Superannuation textbox of the Superannuation Rules section, enter the minimum value.
  4. Click Save.
