Common employer super questions
Employer guidance is reviewed against ATO employer super guidance and linked sources.
Does SuperSure give legal advice?
No. It is an employer worksheet that estimates likely SG outcomes using the inputs and assumptions you choose.
Why can I edit the SG rate?
Rates and thresholds can change, so SuperSure exposes them instead of hardcoding them into the formula.
What counts as ordinary time earnings?
Use the ordinary time earnings field for amounts you expect to be contributable. Keep overtime or other excluded items separate if you are using this as a first-pass worksheet.
Can contractors still trigger SG?
Yes, some contractor arrangements can. SuperSure shows caution language for contractor and uncertain scenarios.
Why show reviewed dates?
Date-stamped assumptions make it easier to see when a rule-sensitive value should be rechecked against current authority guidance.
Why does SuperSure mention Payday Super?
Because employers need to plan for the intended transition starting 1 Jul 2026 without confusing that policy signal with a timeless rule.
When does the maximum contribution base matter?
It matters most in higher-earnings scenarios, which is why SuperSure keeps the base visible and editable in the assumptions section.
