Payday Super changes for employees under 18
Due to the new changes with Qualifying Earnings (QE) any
employee under 18 will now need to be paid either weekly or fortnightly for
their super to be calculated correctly due to how our system is handling these
changes.
Financial Year Changes
When you move into the new 2027 financial year on or after
July 1st you will receive this message prompting you to change the
employees pay cycle:
The drop-down box will include the options of weekly or
fortnightly for you to choose from.
If you change the financial year prior to July 1st,
you will receive this message the next time you go into the program prompting
you to alter the pay cycle:
Editing employee pay cycle
To change your employee pay cycle:
- Go to Employees under Wages on the left-hand side.
- Select Modify Employee
- Select Pay Details and navigate to Pay Period on the right-hand side.
- Click on the drop-down box and switch the pay structure to either Weekly or Fortnightly.
- Press Save in the bottom right-corner to save your changes.
Note: Selecting fortnightly will entail some extra
steps to ensure the correct super and QE is being recorded for each week
period.If the pay structure hasn’t been altered correctly and you
press save, the below message will appear:
Paying your employee
When you pay any under 18 employee that is setup under a
fortnightly pay structure you will see the box below pop up once you select Calculate in Pay Single Employee:
This box is asking you to record how many hours the employee
worked each week.
As employees under 18 are only paid superannuation when they
work over 30 hours a week, this will need to be recorded and correctly
allocated for superannuation and QE to record correctly within our system.
Once you enter the hours for each week, select OK and
proceed to Calculate for the payslip generation.
