i have a question about superannuation - hopefully somebody here will be able to help me.
i didnt think that i was eligble for super because i am under 18. but to my surprise on my payslip for the w/e 3/1/10 there was
*RA RSTSG9% 28.00
in the 'deductions and company superannuation' section. now i assume this is super being paid.
so i checked the ATO website and:
"To be eligible you must be:
- aged 18 years or over but under 70 years of age, and
- paid at least $450 (before tax) in a calendar month
If you are under 18, you are eligible if you work more than 30 hours a week."
that particular week i worked only 25.97 hours (but earned over $450)
however the week before i worked 32 hours, the week after 33.5 and the following week 38. no super was on my payslip for any of those weeks.
does anyone have and idea what is happening here?? when should i be paid super and have i missed out??
