Contributions from your employer

While you work, your employer can pay money into your Brighter Super account in accordance with your employment contract, federal and relevant state laws, awards and any enterprise bargaining agreement that may apply.

Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions

If you work full time, part time, casually or, in some cases, as a contractor, your employer must pay SG contributions into your super account.

SG contributions are currently 12% of 'ordinary time earnings' (from 1 July 2026/27) and apply for most working Australians.

Ordinary time earnings is the money you earn for your ordinary hours of work plus extra money you get for over-award payments, performance-based bonuses, commissions, shift loading, allowances and certain paid leave.

From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay employee super contributions at the same time as wages under the new Payday Super legislation.

Other employer contributions

Your employer may also make additional contributions to your super account, as prescribed by your employment contract, federal and relevant state laws, awards and any EBA.
