Australia: Paying super contributions made easy

Navigator has gone a step further in reducing the daily paperwork of employers administering their superannuation funds, by introducing Superpay a state-of-the-art payroll processing package.

Navigator has gone a step further in reducing the daily paperwork of employers administering their superannuation funds, by introducing Superpay a state-of-the-art payroll processing package.

Superpay is a total package for superannuation data and contributions, allowing access from payroll systems direct to the Navigator administration database, via navigator.com.au.

Shaun Williams, general manager group business development, says the new system recognises superannuation is not a core business activity of our employer clients. With this in mind, Navigator has developed Superpay to assist them in streamlining superannuation administration.

According to Shaun, by using Superpay employers will reduce the time spent administering superannuation down to as little as 10 minutes a month depending on the size of the workforce.

"Through initial testing we have shown two days of pre-production can be cut down to 10 minutes a month. Instead of the employer client having to input, check and double check data it is all done automatically", he said.

Superpays unique offer is designed around making Navigators administration system actually fit with the payroll system of the client. Historically it tended to be the other way around making the payroll system fit the admin system, leading to potential errors as the systems were not originally designed to be integrated.

Designed in conjunction with Real Solutions, Superpay has been built to integrate smoothly with all major payroll systems, and is fully supported by the Navigator team.

"Superpay is all about making superannuation contributions to the fund via payroll easier to operate, integrate and use for advisers and their clients", adds Shaun.

"Financial advisers who are visiting their clients really have a great story to tell them regarding the introduction of Superpay. Not only does it stop the administration nightmare for many clients but it is also offers real and quantifiable savings to a businesses bottom line", said Shaun.
