Superannuation for under 18 year olds

Hi

 

We have an employee who is under 18 years old for whom we want to pay superannuation each week, regardless of the hours worked.  (I know we are not compelled to pay this, but the employer wants to.)

 

How can I set up MYOB to automatically calculate this correctly each pay?

    Hi 6203,

     

    Thanks for your post. 

     

    In this situation, Super will calculate automatically when the employee works over 30 hours in the week, however, if the employee works under 30 hours, super is not payable so it will not calculate automatically, and you will need to enter the super amount manually if the employer is still waiting to pay it. 

     

    The help article below provides some more information on this:

    So there is no way to set it up to automatically calculate and include the superannuation on the pay?

    Hi 6203,

     

    At this stage, you will need to manually enter the 10.5% Super if the employer wishes to pay super for those U18 employees working 30 hours or under. 

     

    If you were wanting to see more flexibility around this, you can put forward a suggestion to our developers via the Idea Exchange Board.
