In MicrOpay, you can find the SGL (Superannuation Guarantee Legislation) Parameters by going to Payroll, Maintenance, General, General Parameters, and clicking the SGL tab.
These fields are updated automatically at the start of each financial year if the end of year upgrade has been applied and you have completed the Change Tax Year function.
The Minimum Eligible Age is used in conjunction with the Minimum Weekly Hours for Minimum Age. Employees under the Minimum Eligible Age won't have super calculated until they have exceeded the Minimum Weekly Hours. Where the employee is attached to a pay frequency other than weekly, the hours entered on a transaction will be averaged to a weekly value. For example, the hours entered for a Fortnightly frequency will be divided by two, and if this exceeds the Minimum Hours, Super will calculate.
The Contribution Cap is the total or maximum earnings per quarter on which super is calculated. When an employee's earnings in a quarter exceed the Cap, super will stop for the quarter and restart in the next. The Cap is based on the earnings and not the calculated super value. Meaning that regardless of the super percentage, super will stop when the earnings reach the Cap. The earnings are calculated based on which components are attached to the Employer Contribution when the pay was entered. The Period End Date is used to determine which quarter the earnings belong to.
Note: The super earnings are calculated per fund, so if an employee changes fund mid-quarter, then the Contribution Cap is reset to zero for the new fund.
