Last week, the Fair Work Commission released its decision on increases to the national minimum wage and minimum Award wages.

With mandatory employer contributions to superannuation also increasing from 1 July, there is potential for businesses to see quite a large increase in their payroll costs.

If you need a hand reviewing your employee’s pay rates to ensure they are above the minimum Award requirements, please reach out for a chat 😊

For the team, 2022 has been a big year of client delivery, and getting our systems and processes sorted!

And now, we’re getting ready to relaunch our ever-popular HR Packs to contain even more value and support for hiring your first employee or growing your team.

Along with this new value and support, comes a new price tag, but we wanted to give everyone a chance to lock in the current HR Pack pricing AND receive the new extra inclusions - if you get the ball rolling this side of EOFY.

So, if you’ve been thinking about hiring your first employee in the new financial year, or you’ve started growing your team and are feeling a bit nervous about not having all of the compliance elements sorted – get in touch today!

What does the super guarantee increase mean for you?

With the minimum employer super guarantee increasing from 1 July, all employers will be required to contribute 10.5% of their employees wages to super each month (or quarter depending how you have it set up).

If you communicate salaries as a salary package (base salary + super) you can legally reduce the base salary as super increases, however many HR and org dev professionals (including us) are warning against this approach.

As you can imagine, employees are unlikely to be stoked to have their take-home pay reduce, and you’d likely also see a reduction in morale, engagement and even productivity as a result.

The super guarantee is scheduled to continue increasing over coming years, so it’s important to factor these small (but no doubt significant, when every dollar counts) rises into your payroll planning.

Another significant change to super from 1 July is that there is no longer a minimum monthly pay threshold (except for some junior casuals). Currently, when an employee earns under $450 in a month, there is no super guarantee payable. This won’t be the case anymore.

If you need a hand setting up for the super change, your accountant or payroll pro is best placed to support.

If you have broader concerns about your payment of your team (such as minimum Award requirements or entitlements) then give us a buzz and we can give you some peace of mind!

We’re working to by continuing to challenge our own thinking on norms and expectations (for both men and women - because it effects us all) in the workplace, as well as encouraging our clients to do the same.

Happy International Women’s Day 👏
