Employers can access a free online course to ensure they understand their employer superannuation guarantee obligations.

The course is available on the ATO website and takes approximately 2 hours to complete.

The employer superannuation course is voluntary and available to any Australian employer to access. A certificate of competency is issued upon successful completion (where a participant achieves a score of 80% or more).

Topics covered range from why it’s important to pay superannuation, how to calculate, when and how to pay, and what to do if you miss a payment.

The employer superannuation course is available here: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Super-for-employers/In-detail/SG-Employer-obligations-course/

Contact Shakespeare if you would like further information about employer superannuation obligations.
