Paying Superannuation
Hi We engage several independent contractors, and due to our industry, we are required to pay superannuation for them on their contractor fees. They are not employees and are not set up in our payro...
Forum Discussion
I have been doing this since 1/7/26. Doing it this way adds the contractor super paid amount to the MYOB superannuation payment, which will be debited & paid, but this "pay run" which I was advised to do separately is always rejected by the ATO reporting system as there is no gross income....
Always comes up with a warning and I have to choose continue without reporting. Now these Contractor "pay runs" are sitting in Payroll Reporting as rejected in red.
As of this week I am now getting a message saying that I can be fined by the ATO if I have these "pay runs" sitting unreported for any length of time.
Has MYOB come up with a solution yet to be able to pay super for INVOICE contractors with out all the error and ATO messages?. We are now a few months in.
Thanks, really need assistance
Hi AnntashBP,
You’ve been following the advised process since 1 July, paying the contractor super, and are still left with rejected pay runs in red. At the moment, the guide for paying super for contractors still points to setting the contractor up as an employee, using Other (not reported) and Labour Hire, then processing the super-only pay separately. That helps get the super payment through. If you’re still seeing the same error after following the steps from our guide, please contact Contact Us so they can review it.
Cheers,
Doreen
