Add a RESC Rate Rule
The below explains how to setup a Contribution Rate Rule for additional employer contributions that need to be reported as RESC and apply it to the Payee record.
Where employer super contributions exceed the mandatory amount required to be paid under the superannuation guarantee contributions (SGC) scheme or under an applicable industrial award or agreement, the extra amount is called reportable employer super contributions (RESC) and is reportable on the employee’s payment summary.
Step-by-step guide
This example is based on an additional 2.5% employer contribution.
