Onboarding new employees

Superannuation support for new employees

We want to make onboarding new employees with their superannuation, an easy task. Here is some information to help you along the way.

Standard choice

It’s important you offer new employees who are eligible, the option to choose a super fund. This requires the employee to complete a Superannuation Standard Choice Form, within 28 days of their start date. If they don’t complete the form, they may be with a stapled fund and their super will be paid into that fund. 

Provide information

The fund your employee joins, is a decision they can make for themselves. However, if you have the resources to help them with the Superannuation Standard Choice Form, the process can be easier.

Here is a link to some information you might like to send to your new employee with some helpful tips.

Further assistance

A member of the legalsuper team is always available to arrange a free/no obligation 30-minute personalised meeting with you or your new employee, to make sure they are on the road to the best possible financial outcome in their retirement.  

If they require more in-depth information, they can speak to one of our Client Service Managers (CSMs) who can discuss their superannuation needs and offer information and general advice about superannuation. Our CSMs can meet with your new employee face-to-face at your office, an agreed location, online or over the phone.
