Super change for short-changing employers

Employers will be prevented from short-changing workers who choose to sacrifice part of their salary into superannuation savings.

Some employers have been using a legal loophole to reduce their compulsory 9.5 per cent super contributions by basing them on the salary less voluntary sacrifices.

"We must ensure employers are paying workers their full entitlements, whether they are wages or superannuation," Financial Services Minister Kellie O'Dwyer said on Friday as she announced the federal government would introduce draft laws to parliament.
