Do I need to pay super for my 16-year-old employee?
Q: I am a small business owner who currently employes a 16 year-old employee. They work a min of 20 hrs per week & their gross income exceeds $450 per calendar month. Am I required to pay them superannuation?

Naughty employers: SG has a tail with a nasty sting
Every week, I receive emails from readers who discover that their employer has failed to pay compulsory employer super contributions (Superannuation Guarantee). Usually, the recalcitrant employer has shut up shop and disappeared, or started a new business somewhere else.
