An employee has chosen UniSuper – what now?
Find out what you need to do if one or more of your employees has nominated UniSuper as their chosen super fund.
Employer responsibilities
UniSuper can accept employer contributions made on behalf of an existing UniSuper member. If one of your employees is an existing UniSuper member and has nominated UniSuper as their chosen fund under Choice of Fund legislation, it’s easy to make employer contributions to UniSuper on their behalf.
Making your first employer contribution
You can make your first employer contribution to UniSuper by following these three simple steps.
- Download the Choice of Fund Contribution Schedule and complete the contribution details for each employee.
- Arrange a cheque made payable to UniSuper Limited.
- Post the completed Choice of Fund Contribution Schedule and cheque to UniSuper, Level 35, 385 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
A receipt will be sent to you after your first employer contribution is received.
Making ongoing employer contributions to UniSuper
You can make ongoing employer contributions to UniSuper on behalf of your employees in the following ways:
- SuperPay
- BPAY®, or
- cheque.
After the first employer contribution is received, you will be sent a SuperPay welcome pack containing your login details and a quick reference guide.
BPAY® is a registered trademark of BPAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518
SuperPay
SuperPay is a secure online facility that enables employers to register, record and submit contribution details to UniSuper.
For more information, refer to the following:
If you use SuperPay, you can choose from three payment methods:
- BPAY®
- electronic funds transfer, or
- cheque.
The default payment option for SuperPay is BPAY®. This can be altered by calling the UniSuper HelpLine on 1800 331 685.
With SuperPay, employers can make a single payment, regardless of the number of employees who have nominated UniSuper as their chosen super fund and can keep track of the payments made online.
SuperPay option 1 – BPAY®
If you choose to make contributions via BPAY®, payments will be transferred to UniSuper using your nominated financial institution’s online BPAY® process.
SuperPay BPAY® biller code: 50948
SuperPay BPAY® reference number: A new number is automatically generated for each contribution.
SuperPay option 2 – EFT
If you choose to make contributions by electronic funds transfer (EFT), payments will be transferred to UniSuper from your nominated financial institution account.
In order to make EFT payments you must have an Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA) ID. which can be obtained by contacting your financial institution. Then, simply provide your APCA ID and financial institution account details to UniSuper.
SuperPay option 3 – cheque
If you prefer to make contributions by cheque, you will need to generate a receipt from SuperPay first and send this together with a cheque payable to 'UniSuper Limited' to UniSuper, Level 35, 385 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
Alternative contribution methods
If you would prefer not to use SuperPay, contributions can be made by cheque or BPAY®. In this instance, you must arrange for the payment of all contributions and post the details for each employee to UniSuper.
Alternative option 1 - cheque
If you choose to make contributions by cheque, follow the process used when making your first employer contribution to UniSuper (see making your first employer contribution ).
Alternative option 2 - BPAY®
If you choose to make contributions by BPAY®, payments will be transferred to UniSuper using your nominated financial institution’s online BPAY® process.
Your BPAY® reference number is made up of your UniSuper employer number plus your employee's UniSuper member number. There should be no spaces between the two sets of numbers.
Employer number: 123456
Employee number: 999999999
BPAY® reference number: 123456999999999
The BPAY® biller code will depend on the type of employer contribution that you are making.
Superannuation guarantee biller code: 78543
Additional employer contribution biller code: 78527
Please note that when using this payment method (BPAY® outside of SuperPay), contributions will be limited to amounts between $50 and $450,000. You must also make separate BPAY® payments for each employee.
Fees
UniSuper does not charge a fee for making employer contributions with BPAY®. However, your financial institution may charge you a fee for using this facility.
