onboard and farewell your employees
Do you have new starters or people leaving? We make it easy to onboard and farewell your employees.
help your employees make an informed choice
Your employees may have questions about their super.
We can help you equip your employees with the knowledge to make the best possible decisions for their financial futures.
Offer a choice
Most employees can choose which fund their super gets paid into.
This means you must give new employees the Superannuation standard choice form within 28 days of their start date.
If your new employee doesn’t choose a super fund, you may need to request their stapled super fund details from the ATO.
Download our Choice of fund form
Pay your super contributions on time
Your first super guarantee contribution for a new employee must be received by their super fund within 20 business days of their first payday.
This may fall before you have received their completed choice form.
If you haven’t received a choice form from your employee by the time the contribution is due, you must check for a stapled super fund with the ATO first, and if one exists, confirm with the employee whether the contribution should be paid into this fund.
Provide the fine print
It's important your employees know what they're signing up for.
Our product disclosure statements have all the information your employees need about HESTA products, fees and costs, and other considerations.

Make it easy to understand
You can share our Easy English guides with your employees to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Easy English is a writing style that helps people who find it hard to read and understand English.
Easy English uses simple terms and has a lower reading level than our other documents.

farewell employees who are finishing up

See what you need to do to make sure you're meeting your responsibilities as an employer.
If your employee stops working for you permanently
You can ask them to contact us to discuss their super options.
You'll need to make relevant adjustments and enter the appropriate code for terminated members in your contribution advice.
If your employee would like to stay with HESTA at their new job
To stay with HESTA, your employee can complete the Choice of fund (PDF) form to give to their new employer.
You can also share the Changing jobs webpage with your employees.
If your employee's role has been made redundant
Your employee may like to consider putting some plans in place to ensure their super keeps working while they're not working. You can share our Redundancy and super webpage with them.
If your employee is unable to work due to illness or injury
You can ask them to contact us immediately to discuss any insurance they may have.
