Super for under 18 year olds

Hi

I have an employee who is 17 and on salary. I have checked the box for SGC as she will be fulltime, however even though the super line items are in her payslip, they are not calculating the super.

I have looked at the standard pay tab and it does say super [calculated] in brackets however it is not working in the payslip.

 

are you aware of this issue? I have manually calculated the super for this payrun but can see this being a problem going forward if we forget to do this manually

 

thankyou

Manola

    Hi MezIndustries

     

    Thanks for clearing that up about her being on a salary. Even for salaried staff, you can still set them up the same way as other employees in the software; the system just uses their standard hours in the background.

    It’s worth having a quick look at the FAQs in that same help article under “What if the employee is part time or full time?”. It walks through how that setup works. If it’s still giving you grief, the best bet is to reach out to our support team by lodging a case from My Account, or jump on live chat via MOCA on the MYOB website so someone can step through it with you.

    She is a salary employee so hours don't come into it. the information online does not tell me how to get around this other than calculate manually.

    Hi MezIndustries

     

    Super for under‑18s can definitely be a bit tricky. Because of the age rules, the software won’t automatically calculate superannuation for them if they work under 30 hours a week.

    If you haven’t already, I’d recommend having a read through our help article Paying super for employees aged under 18”, which steps through how it works and what your options are.

     

    Regards,
