Guide to superannuation for employers

Offering your employees a choice of super fund

Many employees have the option to choose the super fund that you pay their super into.

To meet your obligations there are three steps you must follow:

Step 1: Identify your new eligible employees

Whether an employee is eligible to choose their super fund generally depends on the type of award or industrial agreement that you employ them under.

Step 2: Provide a Standard choice form to employees who are eligible to choose a super fund

The employee can use the form to choose a super fund or accept your nominated super fund.

Step 3: Act on your employee's choice

Arrange to pay super contributions into your employee's chosen fund. If they haven't chosen a fund, begin paying super contributions for the employee into your nominated fund.
