These are contributions made by your employer (excluding salary sacrifice contributions). The amount is currently 9% of your salary in accordance with Superannuation Guarantee (SG) Legislation.

In Australia, it is compulsory for employers to contribute to the superannuation savings of their full time, part time and casual employees who meet the criteria below:

• Be under 70 years and over 18 years of age,
• Work more than 30 hours per week if you are under 18 years of age, and
• Earn $450 or more in a month.

If you are paid under an Award, it may require your employer to contribute superannuation at the level stated in the Award no matter what you earn or what age you are. This money is not taken out of an employee's wage or salary – it is paid in addition to their wage or salary.
