How do I pay Employee Superannuation Contributions?
TASS.web provides three methods to process Superannuation Contribution payments to each employee's superfund.
METHOD 1: Manual processing of files and payments
This method requires manual administrative processing to generate files, upload them, and make payments:
Complete your pay run(s) by following the Pay Run Checklist.
Go to TASS.web Payroll HRM > Payroll > Listings and Reports > Super Remittance File/Report and download either the TXT or CSV file containing the Super Contribution Payment information.
Then upload the file to your Clearing House to pass on the data.
Make a payment to the Clearing House using either TASS.web Finance > Accounts Payable or process a manual General Ledger journal in TASS.web Finance > General Ledger.
The Clearing House passes the money to each employee's super fund based on the report that you sent them.
Your school determines the timing for this process.
Important!
From 1 July 2026, ensure your school's internal procedures and clearing houses comply with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Payday Super and SuperStream deadlines, and that contributions are paid into employees' funds within 7 days of payday.
METHOD 2: PayTo Agreement payments via Payday Super Processing
This method uses automated processes within TASS.web and an API gateway connection to OZEDI, a SuperStream-certified payday super gateway, to process super payments automatically via a PayTo Agreement direct debit from your school’s bank account during the pay run workflow.
Complete the pay run using the Pay Run Checklist.
After completing the Single Touch Payroll step, generate the Super CSV File for the pay run in TASS.web at Payroll HRM > Payroll > Pay Run Processing > Payday Super Processing.
Check your super data in the Payday Super Processing program, and upload it to OZEDI.
Click ‘Request Payment Order’ to instruct OZEDI to deduct the Total Super Contribution amount for the pay run from your school’s nominated bank account.
Click ‘Send Remittance’ to instruct OZEDI to distribute the payment to the super funds and send the remittance advice.
Then, finalise your pay run by completing the remaining steps on the Pay Run Checklist.
This is the fastest and most efficient method to process Superannuation Contribution payments from TASS.web.
To enable this method, follow the ‘Setting up Payday Super’ documentation and select ‘PayTo Agreement’ as your payment method. Refer to the ‘Payday Super Workflow’ section of the Payday Super Processing article for more information.
METHOD 3: Transfer payments via Payday Super Processing
This method uses automated processes within TASS.web and an API gateway connection to OZEDI to process super data and payments in the pay run workflow. The main difference from Method 2 is the manual transfer of the Total Super Contribution amount to OZEDI at the end of each pay run. Therefore, there are a few additional steps to account for this in the ‘Payday Super Processing’ program.
Complete the pay run using the Pay Run Checklist.
After completing Single Touch Payroll, generate the Super CSV File in TASS.web at Payroll HRM > Payroll > Pay Run Processing > Payday Super Processing.
Check your super data in Payday Super Processing and upload it to OZEDI.
Click ‘Request Payment Order’ to indicate readiness to make the payment.
Click 'View Payment Details’ to display OZEDI’s banking details and the Total Contribution Amount for manual transfer.
Transfer your payment to OZEDI.
After transferring payment, click ‘Acknowledge Payment Completed’ to notify OZEDI to verify receipt.
Click ‘Send Remittance’ to instruct OZEDI to distribute payments to super funds and send remittance advice.
Finalise your pay run by completing the remaining steps on the Pay Run Checklist.
To enable this method, follow the ‘Setting up Payday Super’ documentation and select ‘Transfer' as your payment method. Refer to the ‘Payday Super Workflow’ section of the Payday Super Processing article for more information.
