Does your employer give you Super? I just found out only the managers at my restaurant gets it, so I'm assuming Fast Food Outlets don't offer it to their crew.

Most people do get Superannuation. I have had a fight with my employer as they tried to tell me that only people above 18 years old get super. But I am here to prove them wrong.

Australian Tax Office said:
Generally, as an employee, your employer should be paying super for you if you are:
  • aged 18 years or over but under 70 and
  • paid at least $450 (before tax) in a calendar month
If you are under 18, you are eligible for compulsory super guarantee if you work 30 hours or more a week.
You may also be eligible if you work under a contract that is wholly or principally for your labour
You may not be eligible if you’re:
  • paid to do work of a private or domestic nature for 30 hours or less each week
  • a non-resident employee and you’re paid to do work outside Australia
  • a member of the Army, Navy or Air Force Reserve
  • a foreign executive holding a specific class of visa or entry permit, or
  • temporarily working in Australia for an overseas employer and are covered by a bilateral social security agreement.

I get super at Target. The thing is though, I hardly ever earn the $450 in a month to get it. I normally do get it in the christmas period, and I definately should get it this month because I'll be earning abut $550 over 2 weeks, so yeah.

I get super occasionally, but I have to change accounts because my super account is eaten up by fees lol.

Everyone gets super except casuals, who are supposedly compensated for this by a higher hourly rate. Whoever earn enough money or work enough hours in a week ( I forget the exact way it works) and you can recieve super as a casual by working roughly the same hours as a full timer or part timer.

I got a contribution of $96 noted in my payslip from last week, which makes me wonder whether or not the contributions are only made like once every six months or so.
