SGC Processing

SGC Processing calculates the superannuation guarantee liability based either on the employee's actual earnings or the specified annual super gross, whichever has been specified. This option can be used to calculate only, or calculate and post, shortfalls to the next payrun.

Prerequisites

• Read about SGC.
• SGC and SGC shortfalls
• Ensure Program Control option PAY29 position 18,19 and 21 are setup correctly.

Rules and Guidelines

SGC Processing does the following:

• Checks for employee eligibility, the date of birth of employees and if the employee's earnings exceed the maximum allowed;
• Calculates the difference between the required Superannuation Guarantee contribution and any contributions already made to linked non-contributory Super Funds;
• Generates Allowance/Deduction transactions for any shortfalls in contributions into the next payrun;
• Allowance/Deduction transactions are ignored for any employees whose status is terminated;

• Produces theSGC report and theSGC Exception report;
  • The SGC Report lists all eligible employees, any paid contributions calculated for linked super funds, the SGC required and the difference shortfall if any;
  • The SGC Exception report lists all employee not eligible for Superannuation charge.

• Posting transactions can only be generated once during the month. Each time this function is run during the month, the transactions will be duplicated and rebanks will need to be created to offset transactions
