We are now one month into Payday Super.
Employers should no longer be treating superannuation as a quarterly task. Super now needs to be processed alongside each pay run, with contributions required to reach the employeeās super fund within the required timeframe of 7 days.
This makes correct payroll setup more important than ever.
Now is a good time to check:
⢠Are the correct pay items attracting super?
⢠Are super payments being initiated with every pay run?
⢠Are failed or returned contributions being followed up?
⢠Has your cash flow adjusted to the new payment frequency?
⢠Does someone have responsibility for checking the process?
A system may automate part of the process, but someone still needs to make sure it is working correctly.
