Hi Shyamala_S

If you weren’t sure on whether a particular payroll category should be included as part of the superannuation guarantee calculation, I recommend checking with FairWork Australia or the ATO. They will be able to advise you of whether or not a particular payroll category should be included as part of the superannuation guarantee calculation

Thanks Neil, I checked with the ATO and with reference to SGR 2009/2 ruling, it is not required to pay super on genuine redundancy payment as they are not OTE but any AL & SL payments will attract super. File attached for future reference

Shyamala,

Thank you for providing SGR 2009/2.

Have a look at page 18 of the Ruling

Unused Annual Leave is not OTE.
I understand SG is not paid on unused Annual Leave.
