Frequently Asked Questions

Is super paid on overtime?

Generally no. Super is calculated on Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE), which excludes overtime unless the overtime is a regular, predictable pattern — check the relevant Award or enterprise agreement.

What happens if I don't pay super on time?

Late super triggers the Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC) — a non-deductible penalty consisting of the unpaid amount, an interest component (10% p.a.), and an administration fee. You must also lodge an SGC statement with the ATO.
