Employer Super Guarantee still calculating & accruing for en employee over 75

Hi!

 

Just wondering if there is a setting in payroll to stop super automatically calculating & accruing for an employee who is now 75? The employer has received a letter advising they no longer need to make super payments.

The only think I have been able to find is overriding the $450 setting to be much greater than what the employee is paid each month....any other options??

 

Thanks

Sonia

Hello Sonia,

 

In order to change the rate of super accrual, another option would be to use a specific Pay Category for that employee, which uses a 0% super rate.

 

To create a Pay Category:

  1. Navigate to Employees
  2. Select Payroll Settings
  3. Select Pay Categories
  4. Select Add in the top-right corner, and specify a name
  5. Select the appropriate settings for your new Pay Category, but ensure that the Super Rate is 0%
  6. Select Save

If you wish to then have your employee use this Pay Category as a default, please follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Employees
  2. Select the name of the employee
  3. Select Pay Run Defaults from the left menu
  4. Scroll down to Primary Pay Category, and change it to the one you created
  5. Select Save

Using these steps, you can set up a Pay Category that does not accrue super, and apply it to your employee.
