Locate 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. Employees under the Minimum Eligible Age won't have super calculated until they exceed the Minimum Weekly Hours. For employees attached to a pay frequency other than weekly, the hours will be averaged to a weekly value. For example, fortnightly hours 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.
Statutory Super Guarantee will contain the legislated super contribution. For Australian databases this is the SGL percentage and for New Zealand databases this is the KiwiSaver Default rate.
In version 9.5 and above, once you are in the 2026-2027 Financial year the fields in the SGL tab will be read-only. This change is for payday super but will affect all databases.
