Super

Hi can you please tell me if this is correct i feel that super is being calculated from for this casual employee? The rate is set as 10% but it doesn’t seem to be correct in calculating it? Also ...

    Hi Heathrau 

     

    Thanks for your post. Super is calculated on a monthly basis so to check the calculations for your first employee run the Payroll activity detail report for the whole month. Add up the Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE) payroll categories and multiply by 10%. That figure should match the Superannuation Guarantee figure on that report.

     

    Additionally super is calculated on the gross OTE's. If all three payroll categories in your pay transaction screenshot are OTE's, the total gross is $637.92 so super would be $63.79. As it's calculated as $77.30 it looks like the software has done an automatic adjustment to make up for a shortfall in a previous pay.

     

    For the second employee you can use the employee additional super payroll category. This help article, Additional superannuation contributions, has detailed information to edit that payroll category to suit your requirements.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
