SUPER STREAM REMINDER

SuperStream is a standard that requires employers to provide payments and the associated data to super funds in a specific electronic format.

If you have 19 or fewer employees you must start using the SuperStream standard for your contributions from 1 July 2015. Larger employers should already be using SuperStream.

Potential benefits for you include:

  • the opportunity to use a single channel when dealing with super funds, no matter how many funds your employees contribute to
  • less time spent dealing with employee data issues and fund queries
  • reduced cost of processing contributions and payments
  • more timely flow of information and money in meeting your superannuation obligations
  • Please contact us if you would like more information.
