AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only

After you’ve recorded pays for your employees, you can make super payments to their funds directly from AccountRight with Pay Super.

If you're not using Pay Super, you'll need to use the Pay Liabilities window to record your payments, then pay the funds using a different SuperStream compliant solution.

To make superannuation payments

  1. Go to the Payroll command centre and click Pay Superannuation.
  2. In the Pay From Account field, select the bank account from which you're paying.

    Your super payments will always be taken out of the bank account you nominated (and verified) when you set up Pay Super. But choosing the wrong account here will affect the accuracy of your data in AccountRight, so make sure you choose the account that corresponds to the one you selected when signing up for Pay Super. To change the bank account your super payments come from, see Changing your Pay Super payment details.

  3. In the Payment Start Date and Payment End Date fields, select the date range for which you want to view payments.

    If you can't see super payments for your employees, check that you've selected the Pay directly from AccountRight option in the Superannuation Fund Information window for each of your employee funds. Check your super fund and employee details.

  4. In the Date field, enter the date that you are recording this transaction.

    This date is the journal date, not the date that the funds will be debited from your bank account. The payment will be processed on the day that you authorise the payment, even if a transaction date entered in this window is different.

  5. Click in the select column () next to those payments you want to process.

  6. Click Record.
  7. If prompted, log in with your MYOB account details. The Authorise and process now? window will appear.

    • If you do have permission to authorise the payment, and want to do it now, click Yes and continue with the following steps.

  8. In the Pay Superannuation window, click Authorise.
  9. If prompted, log in with your MYOB account details and click Get code. An authorisation code will be sent by SMS to your mobile phone.

titleHow long does it take for superannuation funds to receive payments?

How long does it take for superannuation funds to receive payments?

It usually takes around five business days for superannuation payments to be authorised, processed and received by super funds. However, delays can occur (such as payments being rejected due to data errors), so we recommend allowing up to 10 business days for your payment to process. If your payment hasn't been completed after 10 business days, please contact our support team give us a call.

titleCan I future date a super payment?

Can I future date a super payment?

No. The superannuation payment will be processed once it has been authorised. If you enter a future date in the Date field of the Pay Superannuation window, but authorise the payment today, it will be processed today.

titleWhat can I do about negative superannuation payments?

What can I do about negative superannuation payments?

You can only process a pay super transaction if the total of selected payments is a positive value for each employee and payroll category.

For example, if you have one super payment for $100 and a pay reversal has created another super payment of -$150, the total is -$50, which can't be processed.

Red X error shown next to selected super payments

In this case, you'll need to wait until you have one or more additional super payments to make the total a positive value for that employee.

You can then select all payments to be processed. In our example there's an additional $100 super payment which makes the total for that employee positive $50. This can now be processed.

Our help topic Checking and adjusting superannuation guides you through the areas you need to check, and how to adjust over- or under-paid superannuation amounts.
