The super guarantee employer obligations course is designed to educate employers about their super guarantee (SG) responsibilities for eligible employees.
After completing this course you'll have a better understanding of super guarantee, including:
- the importance of paying
- when to pay
- how to set it up
- how much to pay
- how to lodge and pay
- what to do when a payment is late or missing
- record-keeping requirements.
You can take an assessment after completing the course to test your understanding.
Once you've successfully completed the assessment (with a score of 80% or higher), a certificate of completion will be available for you to save and print.
The assessment result for employers directed by the Commissioner of Taxation to undertake this course will be automatically forwarded to us. Keep your certificate of completion until you receive written confirmation that you've complied with the direction.
