It has been 9 months since any contributions made. Employees have made complaints online to ATO. Every so often we get a contribution to our fund from ATO. Does this allow them to carry on not paying indefinately??
Hi @Slowbiker
An employees super must reach the employes fund on or before the quarterly super due dates. See https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/paying-super-contributions/super-payment-due-dates
If the employer does not meet this requirement they must submit a Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) charge statement and pay interest plus a fee.
If the employer has failed to do this and is audited the ATO can impose substantial penalties.
Part Payment does not change these requirements.

Thanks for your response. But how many consecutive quarters can they submit the Super Guarantee charge?
