We have having a contractor invoicing us regularly, and we have identified we need to pay superannuation guarantee for this contractor, as our super payment clearinghouse is integrated with our payroll system and we don't want to set this contractor up in our payroll system as the contractor doesn't need to be reported via STP.

Michael
