    Hi LeeshO, 

     

    Apologies for the delay in response.

     

    From what I understand, you can manage superannuation payments for a contractor by setting up an employee contact for them. Once you've created the employee contact that corresponds to the contractor, you can adjust the employment basis to labor hire.

     

    Next, make sure all figures in the 'Standard Pay' window are set to zero. When you're processing Payroll, use the Bonus/Commission frequency to input a Void Pay cheque for the contractor. You can then manually enter the amount against the Superannuation Guarantee. If you need further information about processing superannuation, I recommend reading the article 'Superannuation'. 

     

    I hope this helps. Please reach out if you need further assistance.
