  • What attracts the SCG (Superannuation Guarantee Charge) for the employers?

    Wages, Commission, Allowances, Bonuses and similar such names are construed as OTE (ordinary time earnings), and accordingly, SCG is payable by the employer on such earnings of their employees.

    • Single Touch Payroll Reporting to the ATO at the end of each pay period processing.

    • Ensuring the accrued employees’ entitlements are appropriately accounted for in the accounts of accounts to assess the realistic business performance metrics.
    • Frequent changes in the working hours, overtime hours and pay rates would require someone capable of processing these correctly.
    • Processing of parental leave, maternity benefits, redundancy and work injury-related entitlements and payments.
    • Correct reporting to ATO and annual reconciliation for the wages/PAYG WH reported to the ATO with the payroll system.
    • Do I have good governance and controls in my payroll process to mitigate the risk of error and fraud?
