This topic explains how to add new employees to Pay Super payments. It assumes you've signed up and already use Pay Super to make superannuation payments.

When you create an employee card, you included superannuation details for the employee. In most cases, you won't need to set anything up, you just select their super fund, enter their membership number and check that you have included the mandatory details needed for making Pay Super payments. When you record a pay, their superannuation contributions are tracked and ready to be included in your next Pay Super payment.

Adding a new employee to Pay Super payments

  1. If the employee uses a super fund that's new to your business, set up the super fund.
  2. Add an employee card and include the employee's payroll details.
  3. Check that you've entered all the mandatory information required for Pay Super. See below.

To add a new super fund to your fund list

To add a new fund to your fund list

  2. Select the Pay directly from AccountRight option.

    Can't find the fund?

    It might be listed more than once or under a slightly different name than. Try entering and searching for the fund's SPIN/USI. You can also check our list of super funds to make sure the fund can be paid using Pay Super. Still can't find the fund? Contact MYOB Support on 1300 555 931.

  4. If the super fund has provided you with an employer membership number, enter it in the Employer Membership No field. This is the unique identification number provided by the fund after registering employees with them. Check our list of super funds to see which ones require an Employer Membership Number.

  5. Repeat these steps for each super fund that you'll pay using Pay Super.

One more thing to check...

Ensure that the super payroll categories you've linked to your employees are of the Superannuation category type, not Employer Expense. Only super amounts allocated to payroll categories listed in the Superannuation view of the Payroll Category List (Payroll command centre) can be processed using Pay Super.
