What Employers Need to Know About Stapling
Advertisement
On 17 June 2021, the Government passed the Your Future, Your Super (YFYS) legislation which introduced three major reforms:
• Stapling
• Performance test
• Best Financial Interests Duty
Stapling poses the greatest change for employers as it is a new law that will link a person to one super fund and the stapled fund will follow the person when they change jobs.
This is due to come into effect from 1 November 2021.
What does this mean for employers?
When you onboard a new employee, on or after 1 November 2021, and they don’t actively choose their own super fund, you’ll need to manually search for each new employee’s stapled super fund account via the ATO and manually update your payroll system with the employee’s stapled account details.
If an employee wants their super paid to a particular fund (including your default fund), you’ll need to provide a Choice of Fund form within 28 days for them to complete and submit it to your HR/payroll team to action their request.
