Payday Super payments

Louisemarie4217

I have staff on payroll and three that are contractors. I enter them as a purchase each week, group it with electronic payments for staff and then pay. How will this work for payday super? If I start doing MYOB super (using ATO clearing at the moment) how will it work with contractors?

Hi Doreen, can I jump on this question and your reply. The ATO seems to be requesting that QE earnings for contractors be submitted along with the super info through STP. See attached ATO doc. I've highlighted the contractor bit. Do you know what is meant by this and how it is possible to report QE earnings for contractors that we pay through AP in MYOB?

"STP reports that don’t include both amounts by 1 July 2027 will be rejected"

The company I work for has always paid super to contractors so I am used to reporting all super payments through STP for both our people on payroll and those contractors who are eligible for the SG. I also don't understand why the ATO wouldn't just extrapolate the QE from the amount of super being reported. Surely that is simply Super reported divided by .12 = QE.

Thoughts on this appreciated.

Hi @Louisemarie4217,

You’ve set things up neatly already, with your staff on payroll and your three contractors coming through as weekly purchases In AccountRight, any super that goes through Pay Super needs to be processed via payroll. For contractors who are entitled to super, you’d set them up as “employees” purely for their super, then keep paying their invoices as normal through Purchases, which means their bills stay the same while their super gets handled in the payroll and Pay Super workflow. You can also check the "How do I pay super for contractor?" under FAQs using this link.

Cheers,
