So, what are your obligations when it comes to paying super?
If you have employees, you need to pay the Superannuation Guarantee or ‘SG’ - a compulsory payment set by the Australian Government - into your employees’ super fund.
Most organisations pay their employees’ super when they pay their wage.
You can pay super weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly.*
And you can submit contributions to HESTA using the QuickSuper* clearing house or HESTA Employer Online. Both are free to HESTA employers.
Did you know most people can choose where their super is paid?
You need to give new employees the ATO Standard Choice form within 28 days of starting work. A copy is available from the ATO or your default super fund.
If your employee doesn’t return the form, you need to contact the ATO to find out if they have a super account.
If they do, this will be their ‘stapled’ account and their super must be paid here.
If they don’t have an account and they haven’t chosen a fund, you can create a new account for them with your default super fund.
For more information about stapling, visit the ATO website.
As a handy reference, grab the Paying super booklet (pdf) from our website, or speak to HESTA – we’re here to help.
