Superannuation calculations for different employees - salary and hourly rate

Question

Hi

I have been using MYOB AccountRight for nearly 20 years, though I am now having issues with entering the superannuation calculations in the Employee card file for the calculation of their superannuation guarantee amounts.

If I enter 10.5% of Base Hourly for my employees paid on a hourly basis, this then pulls through to my employee on salary.  The same applies if I enter 10.5% of Base Salary for my salaried employee, this pulls through to my hourly paid employees.

I have resorted to manually entering my employee on salary superannuation amounts, as it is easier to manually enter one, than multiple base hourly paid employees.

I have not encountered this issue before, so I would greatly appreciate any advice/feedback from the Community.

Kind regards

Hi @LisaTerese

I don't fully understand the problem you are experiencing. Your comment suggests it is a new problem, although usually all employees have super guarantee calculated at 10.5% - which seems to be what is happening. Perhaps more detail about the issue would be useful.

FYI, you can create multiple Super Guarantee payroll categories (eg one for hourly , one for salaried), and link them to the relevant employees. Each employee's SGC calculation will be based on the linked payroll category. You can even link 2 different Super guarantee payroll categories to the same employee, for example if you have complex payroll or rules.
