Payroll: Superannuation category calculate based on hours (under 18 year old)

Thanks for your suggestion SteveHneedshelp. Anyone else who would like to be able to automatically exclude employees under the age of 18 who work less than 30 hours a week from superannuation calculations, please cast your vote here.

I agree, something needs to be done so that we aren't paying super unncessarily.

Having the employee's age on the payroll window would also help us identify the correct super contributions and their pay rates are correct.

Thank you for your feedback, interAccounts. It has been passed on to our developer team. 

Does anyone know if this will be included in upcoming updates? It has been over a year now since this post and I cannot find a way to exclude under 18yo employees who do not work 30 or more hours from superannuation accrual.

In addition, it would be good to have an age limit for superannuation accrual, so the super will begin accruing when the employee turns 18 and is earning over the $450 gross threshold a month.

Hi SmithyUpdates

Thank you for your feedback in regards to this idea

Currently this idea has been marked as Under Consideration as something that we are still considering investigating adding in later versions of the software. At this stage we don't have direct time frame or update number when this particular idea will be marked for development and included in the program. However we are still encouraging clients that would like to see this idea included to vote, and comment if required, for this idea.

Is there any idea when this will be implemented?  Very frustrating, I also have clients who have been overpaying and the manual process is time consuming. 

I wonder how many people aren't even aware of the 30 hour per week rule.

I only found out about it because my 16 year old daughter started working for Woolworths and they didn't pay the super.

Hopefully this is updated in next upgrade

MYOB - when you are considering this, can you also consider the super maximum contributions base - for those people lucky enough to earn that amount of money and only need to pay 9.5% on the max base (ie approx $200k indexed every year x 9.5%).

How is this going?

I am just curious as to whether this has progressed any further as it is now over 3 years since the suggetion was made and I am not sure if there is yet a solution to the problem.

I am surprised this is still an open topic after 3 years. So many of my clients struggle with this as well as birthday alerts for pay rate change. We employ nearly 100 under 21 year olds and it would be a great help to have a notification to change pay rate (and wish them a Happy Birthday), as well as correctly calculate superannuation for them.
