Multiple superannuation funds for an employee
I have an employee who wants to put $200 into his current superannuation fund, then the balance into his self-managed super fund. I can see I can change his payroll card to just pay the $200, but how...

Hi Shella,
I'm still having problems with the set up of this additional fund.
I have set the fund up, but I can't seem to assign the fund to a payroll super category.
Is someone able to contact me directly to solve this problem, I'm getting very frustrated, so close but yet so far it seems. 😊
My thanks in advance,
Kindest regards,
Tracy
Hi TraceyMills,
Love your persistence and patience in sorting out your employee's super fund issue. From what I gather, you can't link two super funds to a single employee card directly. To handle super contributions to multiple funds for one employee, you'll need to set up a separate employee card for each fund. One card will be the primary for their payroll info and link to a super fund, while another card is for the additional superannuation info only. When payday comes around, the super for the primary card gets paid as usual. The payments for the other funds go into a "clearing" account first, then get distributed up to the other employee cards and their super funds.
I'd definitely suggest giving the ATO a buzz to double-check how they handle info from two different employee cards. It's super important to stay compliant and make sure everything's reported properly.
