Add Worker Superannuation Choice (AUS)

Add Worker Superannuation Choice (AUS)

  • Ensure you have a default superannuation fund set up in your Workday tenant.
  • Security:
    Worker Data: Payroll (Company Specific) - AUS
     in the AUS Payroll functional area.
Workers can have 1 active superannuation choice per company, and the choice applies to their:
  • Superannuation Guarantee contributions.
  • Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions.
  • Employee Voluntary superannuation contributions (Salary Sacrifice and employee post-tax contributions).
Workday uses the payment date of the pay period to determine which active superannuation choice is used for the worker in each company.
Configure Employee Voluntary contributions at the same time as a worker's superannuation choice. Voluntary contributions must be in monetary amounts, not percentage amounts. Workday processes Employer Voluntary contributions in each pay run, but not in retro pay runs.
Workday doesn't support spouse or child superannuation contributions.
You can add a worker superannuation choice for a pre-employee, who has been hired but is prior to their start date.
