Good evening everyone, I am bit confused on the due dates for the employer to contribute in the employee's Superannuation Fund. My employer says is from the date of employment, but I was aware ATO declares the due dates, every four months (July-September 28th October, October-December 28th January). Are there any loopholes I am not aware? thank you

Hi @Parulot
@Bruce4Tax is right.
When you are paid for your work, the due date for the super on that pay is by the 28th day after that quarter ends. This is the same no matter what industry you work in.
The only difference is where your employer makes reportable super contributions or salary sacrificed payments - there is no legislated due date for when these must be paid by. However, it's always good practice to pay these when the SG is normally due to keep everything up to date.
You can read about the super guarantee payment due dates on our website.
