For business
Employers should be aware that the superannuation guarantee will rise from 9.5 per cent to 10 per cent from July 1 this year, rising progressively to 12 per cent by 2025. Businesses need to ensure that all accounting and payroll systems are updated to reflect the changes and that salary and wage payments are adjusted accordingly to reflect the new regulations.
