How do I add an employee that is a member of Sunsuper?
You can use your usual payment method, (Contribution Return, BPAY or web) to add a new employee.
If you pay using a Contribution Return, you can add your new employee details to the back of the form and return it to us.
If you use BPAY, complete the "New member enrolments" section on the back of the BPAY - contribution summary and return it to us.
If you use Employer Online, go to the "Update member details" screen and add the new member.
How do I provide employee information?
Sunsuper is required to hold specific details about your employees. At a minimum, we require each employee's:
- full name
- date of birth
- address
- Tax file number (TFN)
- gender, and
- the date they started working for you.
The easiest way to ensure we receive all the information we need is to have your new employees fill out a Membership application form, which you can send in with their first contribution.
You can also provide member information, including TFNs, on the back of the Contribution return or when enrolling new employees via Employer Online when making your first payment.
How do I provide employee tax file numbers (TFNs)?
Taxation laws require you to pass on TFNs of employees to Sunsuper where the employee has quoted the TFN to you.
When an employee gives you their TFN, you are generally required to pass it on to the employee's super fund when you next make a superannuation contribution for them.
However, if you receive an employee's TFN within 14 days of sending your contribution for the employee, then you have up to 14 days from receiving the TFN to pass it on to the fund.
Your employee can provide their TFN when they complete the the Membership application form. You can also provide it on the back of the Contribution return or when enrolling new employees via Employer Online when making your first payment.
Not providing a TFN to a super fund can have serious impacts for members in relation to the tax they pay on their super contributions.
How do I add a new employee that is not a member of Sunsuper?
You can use your usual payment method, (Contribution Return, BPAY or web) to add a new employee.
Give your new employee a copy of the Sunsuper Solutions Member guide, and ask them to complete and return the Membership application form to you.
If you pay using a Contribution Return, you can add your new employee to the back of the Contribution Return. Please attach the completed Membership application form to the Contribution Return and send it to us.
How do I remove (terminate) an employee from my list of employees?
You can use your usual payment method, (Contribution Return, BPAY or web) to remove an employee.
If you pay using a Contribution Return, add the termination date to the termination date field on the form and return it to us.
If you use BPAY, complete the "Existing member terminations" section on the back of the BPAY - Contribution Summary and return it to us.
If you use Employer Online, go to the "Update member details" screen and add the termination date.
