how to set up super for contractor in reckons rather than setting them up as an employee

Rachael Kemp

We have a contractor I need to set up to pay super. i've never done this before and don't know where to start as I'm a novice on Reckons..

Hi Rachael,
This KnowledgeBase article should be a good starting off point -

Reporting Super for Contractors

Hi Rav

This is outdated information. Do you have updated info as per ATO Super for Contractors 1 July 2022?

Thanks Sam

Hi @Samantha Robertson

You can still set them up as an "Employee", create a new "Contractor" Payroll Item (Tax Tracking should be set to None with no Taxes or Leave accrual ticked & also tick to omit them from STP) adding their Super Details (like a regular employee) accordingly:

NOTE: Payroll Items should be generic - eg the "Contractor" one should be able to be used for any contractor - so don't include any $ amounts in the Payroll Item itself, only in the contractor's specific Employee record! 😊
