Hello ATO Community,

I am seeking advice regarding unpaid superannuation contributions from my former employer, which has now gone into liquidation as of 2 July 2024.

Background:

  • I was employed from October 2020 to March 2024.
  • My annual salary was $70,000 + super, and based on my payslips, the employer reported total super contributions of $21,505.85 AUD.
  • However, only $11,622.14 AUD was paid into my super account, leaving a shortfall of $9,854.41 AUD.
  • The ATO investigated the unpaid super but closed the case due to the company entering liquidation and referred me to the liquidator.

My Actions So Far:

  1. I have completed and submitted Form 535 (Proof of Debt) to the liquidator, along with supporting documents (e.g., payslips, superannuation statements, and a discrepancy report).
  2. I also attached the ATO letter confirming the investigation closure.

My Questions:

  1. Is there anything else I should do to strengthen my claim and ensure the liquidator considers it fairly?
  2. If the liquidation process does not recover sufficient funds, are there alternative options (e.g., Fair Entitlements Guarantee) for unpaid super?
  3. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and can share their experience or outcome?

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there @stoci786,


Have you tried reaching out to Fair Work in relation to your unpaid super? They may be able to provide you with advice on how to strengthen your claim and help you understand if there are other avenues to recover the sufficient funds.
