Employers, on behalf of ‘eligible employees’, are required to pay a minimum compulsory superannuation contribution rate.

Contributions for each employee need to be made on at least a quarterly basis.

1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023 10.5%
1 July 2023 – 30 June 2024 11%

More details are available from CCV Partner, Hostplus on 1300 467 875 or at the Australian Government – Australian Taxation Office.

As an employer you are legally required to make Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions on behalf of employees who are:

  • aged 18 years or over, and
  • employed on a full-time, part-time or casual basis (including those who are working in Australia temporarily), or are
  • under the age of 18, work 30 hours or more in a week.

The minimum you must pay is called the super guarantee (SG):

  •   the SG is currently 10.5% of an employee’s ordinary time earnings
  •   you must pay the SG at least four times a year, by the quarterly due dates
  •   you must pay and report super electronically in a standard format, ensuring you meet the ‘SuperStream’ requirements
  •   your super payments must go to a complying super fund – most employees can choose their own fund
  •   if you don’t pay the SG on time, you may have to pay the super guarantee charge

Volunteers in clubs

Volunteerism is the lifeblood of clubs and in fact, the community itself. Many clubs would not exist today without the energy and determination of their volunteers.

CCV has developed a handbook specifically for volunteer clubs. That is, clubs operate entirely by volunteers, or clubs that rely in part for the provision of their member services by volunteers. This is a useful tool that covers several key areas where it is important to protect the club and your volunteers.

Members can contact the CCV Team for a copy.

Separation Checklist

Inevitably staff will cease employment with your club and CCV recommends that clubs establish a separation checklist, to ensure the club continues to function effectively and efficiently. The concept of the checklist is to provide a process to follow that addresses club security and compliance during the transition phase. Clubs may wish to utilise the CCV example template and tailor this to suit the needs of your club.
