Superannuation is simply money that you put away for your retirement. Super funds, then invest this money to assist its growth over time. It is the time aspect of super that makes it such as effective way of planning for your retirement.
Although none of us want to focus on a time when we cannot work, not do the things we can do now or a time when we will need greater assistance just to live it is a fact of life and will come to all of us.
Most employees from the age of 18, who are paid $450 (before-tax) or more in a calendar month are covered by Super Guarantee (SG) legislation, irrespective of whether working full-time, part-time or on a casual basis.
Your employer will place the Super Guarantee compulsory contributions into a super fund on your behalf. All employees have a right to choose their own super fund, but it you do not, the responsibility falls to the employer to choose a default fund.
