AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only

The super funds your employees belong to need to be set up in AccountRight. So in addition to setting up superannuation payroll categories, you'll need to:

  1. add the standard and self-managed (SMSF) super funds that your employees use
  2. assign the relevant funds to your employees.
