Today we're showing you how to set up and process your first super payment run in Employment Hero Payroll. As implementation specialists who configure super payments for hundreds of Australian businesses, we will ensure you get it right from day one. You’ll learn how to set up default super funds, register with BEIMS, and process your first super batch.
The first step is to set up our default super funds by going to Payroll Settings. Click here in Payroll Settings, then select Superannuation. On this page, you can add your default super funds. Click the Add button and search for your super fund. Click on Search, and it will give you a list of the default super funds. You just need to select your default super fund. For example, your default super fund could be the Australian Retirement Trust Super Savings. Select that and confirm it has the correct USI and ABN. You can also enter the phone number and website address, then click Save. There’s also an option to delete a fund by clicking the small X icon.
Once you have added your default super funds, you should now be able to process the super batch manually. If you would like to pay your employees’ super contributions through the BEIMS Super Fund Clearing House, you need to register with BEIMS first by clicking the Register with BEIMS button. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter your business details, address, contact details, payment methods, default fund, and agree to the terms and conditions. After completing this, you should be successfully registered with BEIMS.
After registering with BEIMS, to create your super batch, go to Payroll Settings, click on Business, and then Super Payments. On my end, since I’m unable to register with BEIMS, the page shows that you can register with BEIMS. If you have already registered, you would be directed to this page. If you’re not registering with BEIMS—for example, if you’re using another third-party or super fund clearing house—you will process a manual super payment. To do that, click the link “I did not wish to register with BEIMS, proceed with a super payment.”
This is the super payment screen. To create your first super batch, click New Manual Super Payment Batch. You can filter your super contributions by date range. For example, if you want to pay the pay runs from last month, click Last Month, or use a custom range by entering the From and To dates, then click Apply. You can also select the contribution type, pay schedule, and employing entity, then click Filter.
Once you click Filter, it will show all employees who were paid within the selected date range, and you can then click the Create Batch button. On my end, I’m unable to proceed because these are all sample employees without super fund details. You just need to click Create Batch, and once it is created, if you’re paying manually, you can download or export the reports. If you’re paying through BEIMS, you will be given a reference number to process the payment.
These are the steps on how you can process your super payments. I hope this helps, and if you have questions, feel free to contact support. Thank you, and have a great day.
