Fixed amount of Superannuation per period for an employee as RESC for high income earners.

Updated over 3 months ago

There may be instances where you want to pay an employee the same amount of Super regardless of how much they have earned per pay period. To do this, you will need to:

  • Create the Employer Contribution

  • Attach the Contribution to a Fund

  • Attach the Contribution to the Employee

Once the Contribution has been created, you will also need to review the Superannuation File and General Ledger Batch to see if the Contribution needs to be included.

Create the Employer Contribution

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Superannuation, Employer Contribution.

  2. If a Fixed Employer Contribution does not exist, click Add to create a new one.

  3. Enter a Code and Description.

  4. Select Fixed as the Employer Contribution Type.

  5. Enter 100 in the Percentage Deduction field.

  6. Under STP Phase 1 & 2, tick Include in STP Reporting, if applicable. Then select either Super Guarantee (SGL) or Reportable Super (RESC).

  7. And complete any other required fields.

Attach the Contribution to a Fund

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Superannuation, Funds

  2. Edit the required Fund.

  3. On the Employer Contributions tab, click the Select button and include the new Contribution created above.

  4. Click OK to save. Repeat this step for any other Funds that require the fixed contribution.

Attach the Contribution to the Employee

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Employees, Employees.

  2. Edit the employee record and select Superannuation Details.

  3. Under Superannuation Contributions, click Add and select the new Employer Contribution created above.

  4. Enter the amount per period in the Value field blank and ensure Allocations is 100.

  5. If the Contribution is RESCT, ensure Reportable Super is ticked. This will be automatically ticked if you selected Reportable Super (RESC) on the Employer Contribution.

  6. Click OK to save the Contribution

  7. If required, amend any other employer contributions.

  8. OK to save the employee. The super for the employee will be calculated as 100% of the Value entered on the employee record for each pay.
