Should I Be Worried If I Didn't Get My Super Fund Payment Made from My Employer?

I have checked my super fund and a payment hasn't been made from my employer. I started work a month ago, should I be worried?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions we get at people2people. In Australia, if you earn more than $450 per calendar month, (before you have had any tax deducted), then your employer is required by law to pay superannuation (9.5% as at April 2016) on your behalf, to the super fund of your choice. If you don’t have a super fund, then your super will be paid into your employer’s default fund. This is required whether you are in temporary or permanent work. So far so good. So, when does this have to be paid? Super is required to be paid on a quarterly basis. Some employers may choose to pay it more frequently, depending upon their cash flow and budgeting arrangements, as long as the full amount is paid by the due date at the end of the quarter.

Quarter

Period

Payment due dat e

1

1 July – 30 September

28 October

2

1 October – 31 December

28 January

3

1 January – 31 March

28 April

4

1 April – 30 June

28 July

*From the ATO website Due to the large number of different super funds people2people are required to pay because of the large number of on hire workers, we use the services of a Clearing House. This means that we make one payment (usually early in the month the payment is due to ensure the funds are received in time) and the Clearing House then distributes your money to your super fund before the end of the quarter.

So if your funds aren’t in yoru super find, this is likely to be the reason. Of course, if super has not been paid at all, then there are very severe penalties which apply to noncomplying employers.

2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
