Employees under 18 years of age are not required to have or provide a TFN. If this is the case, an employee can select "I'm under 18 and don't earn enough to pay tax" in the Tax File Number section during the onboarding process.

If this option is selected, they will not need to provide a TFN. Once the employee turns 18, however, a warning will apply to their profile and subsequent pay runs until one is added.

Employees under 18 years of age still require super fund details in their profile and during onboarding, as they are eligible for mandatory super for working more than 30 hours in a single week.

If they don't have their own super fund, you can set up your company's nominated fund in Settings > Onboarding > Superannuation > Super API Setup, which they can then select during onboarding.

To learn more about configuring your company's nominated fund, please see Here.

Super will not accrue in payslips for employees under 18 years of age unless they work more than 30 hours in a week.

The 30-hour threshold looks at individual weeks, not the entire pay period spanning multiple weeks. This means that you have non-weekly pay periods (e.g., fortnightly, monthly), the employee's timesheets will be used to check if super should accrue, rather than the payslip, which looks at the period as a whole.

Only if you use a weekly pay period will the U18 employee's superannuation update automatically in the payslip:

For employees on a non-weekly pay period, when the timesheet is exported to Tanda Payroll, a check is done to determine if any of the weeks in the timesheet contain more than 30 hours. If so, a superannuation amount is pre-calculated and added to the employee's new payslip.

If the payslip is edited in any way, the superannuation amount will not automatically adjust:

If adjusting the employee's earnings, you will need to make a manual super adjustment in the payslip or re-export an updated timesheet.
