Set Up Non-Default Superannuation Employer Deductions

The default superannuation scheme uses the system Superannuation Employer memo deduction. However, for any superannuation scheme that will be used instead of the default scheme, you need to create a memo deduction in the Deductions tab of Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions. For general information on configuring deductions, see Deductions and the Deductions Tab.

Before You Begin: For more information on the fields and settings in this section, see Third Party Payee Configuration for Australia.

To set up a non-default superannuation employer deduction:

1. Ensure you have set up Superannuation funds. See Set Up Superannuation Funds.
2. Go to Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions and click the Deductions tab.
3. In the General tab, you must select the Allow Payee checkbox. When you do this, the following occurs:
   1. The deduction definition updates to display the Payees tab, where you can select the payees that you defined for additional superannuation schemes.
   2. The Payee Category drop-down list appears where you can select the payee category Superannuation Scheme.
4. Click the Tax and Compliance tab where you can select the system tax and compliance rule Superannuation Employer. This sets the deduction to be a memo deduction.
5. In the Parameters tab, configure the deduction to be based off a percentage of the employee's earnings. You can define this percentage to be based off the earnings of an earning grouping. Configure earning groupings in Payroll Setup > Groupings.
