Contributions Entered Individually

After you calculate the amount of the employer- and employee-paid superannuation contributions, you can pay those amounts to the third-party administrators of the superannuation funds to which you want to contribute. When an organization makes payments to a superannuation fund on behalf of an employee, the organization is required to report information about the payment to the employee.

Before you can report superannuation payment information to an employee, you must enter information about the payments into the system. You can use the Superannuation Payments program to enter each superannuation payment individually. You can also use this program to modify existing superannuation payment records regardless of whether they were entered individually or imported from a spreadsheet.

After you enter superannuation payment information, it is stored in the Superannuation Payments table. You can then process the employee through a payroll cycle. When you print the employee's payment advice slip, the system includes all of the records in the Superannuation Payments table that have not already been printed on the payment advice. Printing superannuation information on the employee's payment advice slip satisfies the ATO's reporting requirements.
