Employer FAQ

Frequently asked questions from employers

 

A new employee has chosen NGS Super due to choice of fund and I am not registered. How do I register?

It's not complicated. To register to make contributions to NGS Super, employers should complete an Employer Details Form to become a participating employer, available in our Employer Guide (PDS).

 

How can I make contributions?

You can choose to pay contributions by cheque, BPay or employer-initiated direct debit.

 

What can I do online?

We have two online options that allow you to provide contribution details, make payments and update member details. For further information see our fact sheets.

 

Can I see past contributions?

Where an employer is submitting superannuation contribution payments via NGS Online or NGS OnlinePlus a history of past contributions is accessible.

 

What are the Super Guarantee (SG) deadlines?

Quarter	Deadline for payment
1 July – 30 September 1 October – 31 December 1 January –31 March 1 April – 30 June	28 October 28 January 28 April 28 July

 

What are the penalties for not paying super?

An employer has obligations under the Super Guarantee (SG) legislation to submit SG payments at least quarterly by the due dates set by the government (see above). However, there may be occasions when an employer is not obliged to contribute, for example if an employee earns less than $450 in a month. Employers who fail to comply with SG requirements, may incur a super guarantee charge, which includes SG payments, lost earnings and administration charge(s).

 

What information do I give employees?

You give new employees NGS Super's Member Guide (Product Disclosure Statement). This provides important information about the features, costs and benefits of investing superannuation with NGS Super. We will send a Member Guide to employees, where a completed member application has not been received.

Once an employee joins, we will send them a welcome pack and regular statements and our member magazine, MoneyWise.

 

How regularly can I make contribution payments?

Employers can make payments on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis.
