When an employee has had their employment terminated, what is the maximum period that an employer has to pay their superannuation entitlements?
An employer must pay an employee’s superannuation guarantee contributions to the employee’s fund within 28 days after the end of each quarter. The end of each quarter in a financial year are as follows:
- 28 October
- 28 January
- 28 April
- 28 July
Although an employer may choose to pay superannuation contributions more regularly, 28 days after the end of each quarter is the cut-off.
