AccountRight Plus and Premier only

To manage your super obligations, you need to:

  1. create the super funds that your employees use
  2. review the default super payroll categories (and add any others you need)
  3. assign the relevant fund and super payroll categories to your employees.

Heard about Pay Superannuation?

Set up Pay Superannuation to make super payments directly from AccountRight, meet your employee super obligations in a flash and always stay on top of government changes, including SuperStream. The best bit? It’s free with your AccountRight subscription. To learn more, see Set up Pay Superannuation.

To create a superannuation fund
  1. Go to the Lists menu and choose Superannuation Funds. The Superannuation Fund List window appears.

  2. Click New. The Add Superannuation Fund window appears.
  3. Select the name of the superannuation fund from the Fund Name list.
    If a SPIN (Superannuation Product Identification Number) or USI (Unique Superannuation Identifier) exists for the fund, it will appear in the SPIN/USI field automatically.

    Can't find a super fund?

    It might be listed under a slightly different name than you're used to. In the Fund Name drop-down, 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 Superannuation. Still can't find the fund? Contact MYOB Support on 1300 555 931.

  4. If you want to refer to the fund by a different name within AccountRight, enter a Preferred Name for Fund. For example, you might want to give a fund with a long or confusing name a shorter, clearer one.
  5. If you have your membership number for the fund, type it in the Employer Membership No. field. This is a unique employer identification number provided by some superannuation funds when you register an employee or group of employees.
  6. Type the contact details for the fund in the Fund Phone Number and Fund Website fields.
  7. Click OK. The superannuation fund now appears in the Superannuation Fund List window.
  8. Repeat from step 2 for each additional superannuation fund you need to create.
  9. Click Close.
To review the super payroll categories

Before you can calculate, report and pay superannuation amounts for employees, review the default superannuation payroll categories and assign them to your employees. To help you do this, see Creating payroll categories.

Reportable Employer Super Contributions (RESC)

The ATO requires that some superannuation contributions that exceed the superannuation guarantee amount (for example, salary sacrifice and some salary packaged amounts), be reported on payment summaries. These reportable contributions need be set up as separate superannuation payroll categories, so that they are easily reported when preparing payment summaries and the electronic EMPDUPE file you send to the ATO.

When you prepare payment summaries, you need to select the superannuation payroll categories that are reportable (this does not include superannuation guarantee categories). For more information about preparing payment summaries, see Prepare payment summaries.

For detailed information about Reportable Employer Super Contributions, contact the ATO or your accountant.

To assign funds and categories to your employees

Once you’ve created super funds and reviewed the super payroll categories, you need to assign them to your employees. You do this in the Payroll Details view of each employee’s card.

See Entering employee payroll information for instructions on how to assign these details to your employees.
