Processing Superannuation Imported From Employment Hero – Agrimaster

Once a pay run is created in Employment Hero, we recommend that your superannuation payments are paid directly from Agrimaster using the EFT payment feature. This will greatly reduce manual data entry errors and speed up the monthly and annual reconciliation process.

Please Note

When importing your pay run as a transaction or EFT in Agrimaster, two transactions will be created per eligible employee, per pay period; one for super and one for wages. This means if you pay your employees fortnightly, you will have a new super record created per employee per fortnight.

If you pay super quarterly, you will need to future date the super record when importing and keep these records in your cashbook until you pay them.

The process below outlines the entire process for handling superannuation, from finalising the pay run in Employment Hero to making the super payment to the Super Clearing House.

If you pay super quarterly, you may have a number of transactions sitting in your cashbook until you are ready to pay them.
