What It Is

Workday enables you to send your superannuation payments and data to worker superannuation funds using SuperStream, using a Superannuation Clearing house with a SAFF file.

Business Benefits

SuperStream enables you to:

Meet the legal requirements for sending superannuation payments and payment information.

Increase your efficiency by streamlining the process of managing and submitting superannuation payments and information.

Use Cases

Each time you pay superannuation to your workers, send the payment and information with Superstream.

Questions to Consider

Processing Frequency	You can run SuperStream in Workday for a single period, or for multiple periods. Consider how your organization processes superannuation payments, and the legislative requirements and deadlines that apply to you.
Clearing House processing	Consider how the customer clearing house processes payments. Can they process SAFF files and payment arrangements to clear funds?

Recommendations

Workday Payroll for Australia and the Single Touch Payroll function is designed to assist you with the pay and tax reporting required by law. However, you should independently verify your obligations required by the Australian Taxation Office and other relevant authorities.

Requirements

Limitations
