Superannuation backpay

Hi everybody, I need to backpay some superannuation as the payroll category wasn't updated. Is this entered through 'Process Payroll' and then under each employees Superannuation Guarantee?

Hi Ayla_F,

Yes, you'll just need to turn their employee card back on for a bit to include an inactive employee in a pay run. This way, they’ll pop up in the pay run, and you can sort out their super payments. Check out this link with all the steps on how to do it. Also, toss in a little note in the pay run explaining what the adjustment's all about. Giving your employees a heads-up about the changes keeps things transparent and can clear up any worries they might have.

Cheers,

Princess

Hey Ayla_F,

You're spot on— yes, you'll need to go through Process Payroll and update each employee's Superannuation Guarantee amount from there. If you've underpaid, just enter the positive amount you need to backpay. If you've overpaid, you can process a void pay (with zero wages and hours), and just enter a negative amount in the super field. You can also check this link for more info.

Cheers,

Thanks Doreen.
It's an underpayment. With inactive employees, do I need to make them active for this payment? I'm unsure how to include them in the payrun...
Also do I need to include a memo or contact them to provide an explanation?
