How to set up extra employer superannuation contributions

Thanks for posting in the Community, Margsam53.

Let me provide some information on how you can add additional employer super contribution. You can use the Adjust Super option from the pay run or set up a Pay Run Inclusion to the employee details. 

If it's a one time adjustment, we can use the adjust super option from the pay run:

1. From the pay run creation page click on the employee name to show earnings section.
2. Choose Actions button.
3. Click on the Adjust Super.
4. In the Super Adjustments select the type of super contribution you wanted to adjust.
5. Enter the Amount.
6. Click on Save.

Once you hit the save button you will see the contribution in the EC column, both reportable and non-reportable contributions will be displayed in this column.

If you want to have an ongoing super contribution adjustment:

1. Click on the Payroll tab and select the employee name.
2. Click on the Pay Run Inclusions.
3. Go to Super Adjustments.
4. Click on Add.
5. Select Employer Contribution from the drop down.
6. Select the Amount (per pay run) either fixed or percentage.
7. Enter any Notes.
8. Select When the pay run inclusion Start and Expires.
9. Click on Add.

Finalise the pay run when ready and lodge to the ATO.
