Super Guarantee Automatically Adds In

Hi 85670717,

Thanks for posting in the Community! Let's try to check on the employee's Pay Run Defaults and ensure that Override option for super guarantee is not selected as well on the pay rate templates. 

1. Go to Employees tab and select an employee.
2. Select Pay Run Defaults.
3. See Super Threshold and untick Override.
4. Select Save.

To check your pay rate templates, click on employee Pay Rates and untick Override on Super Rate. 

Furthermore, you can also check if there's a super adjustment set up as a pay run inclusion on a specific employee. 

1. Go to Employees tab and select an employee.
2. Select Pay Run Inclusions.
3. See Super adjustments. 

If you need to make any adjustment on employee's super on the pay run, kindly click on Actions and select Adjust super. 

For more detailed information, you can check on this article: Removal of $450 eligibility threshold for super guarantee in QuickBooks Online. 

Feel free to drop a comment below if you have any other questions. Have a nice day! 

Thanks IntuitAika. I had already done all those & yet the SG is still showing in payrun. If I add a Super Adjust for Employer Contributions, it just adds to the automatically added SG. I'm stumped.

In addition, I deleted the payrun & entered again & it still automatically added the SG

Hi 85670717,

Thanks for your response.

When the override option for super rate is not ticked it means that the employee doesn't have a super threshold amount and will be paid super contributions on all ordinary time earnings, no matter how much their monthly earnings amount.

If you need to adjust the superannuation amounts on a pay run, you can follow these steps.

1. Open the pay run.
2. Select the name of the employee who you wish to adjust.
3. Select the Actions button.
4. Select Adjust Super.
5. Select the type of super to adjust and enter the amount to adjust by.
6. Select Save.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm here to help. 

Hello again IntuitAika,

The only way now I have been able to zero out SG is by putting in a Super Adjustment as a negative figure.

Thanks for letting me know, 85670717.
