Information on Superannuation for Australian Sidekicks, including what it is, how it works, when it is paid, and how to update your details

Updated over a week ago

Superannuation, or 'Super', is money set aside by your employer that is invested and managed by a super fund until you retire. This applies to all Australian workers.

When are superannuation payments made?

You will be paid a percentage of your Ordinary Time Earnings (which does not include Overtime) into your nominated fund. The payment will be made quarterly according to this schedule:

About a month before processing begins, active Sidekicks will receive a reminder to check that the details on their profile are correct. This includes your fund name, membership number and TFN.

Please ensure your details are correct by the relevant cutoff dates above to avoid super being paid into the incorrect account.

What are my Superannuation details?

When you joined Sidekicker, you would have been asked to provide your Superannuation details on your profile. If you opted for Sidekicker to set up a new Superannuation account on your behalf, we would have created a Superannuation account with HostPlus.

HostPlus accounts are created at the end of the quarter based on the payment schedule mentioned above. Once the first Superannuation payment is made for you, HostPlus will send a letter to your address on Sidekicker with the details of your new account. You can also contact them directly to request your account details.

NOTE: Your super details will not be added to your account until the end of the first super cycle. In the meantime, you may see a 'details not provided' note on your payslips. No need to worry! You are still accruing super and if there are any issues with processing each quarter, we will get in touch with you.

How do I update my superannuation details?

It's essential that your details are always up to date, to avoid delayed/incorrect payments. If at any point you need to make changes to your details, you can follow these steps:

  • Click here to log in and access your Employment Details

  • Update the fund name and membership number in the section shown below
