SuperReady Applicability Logic and Activation Conditions in Finance Portal

This section provides an overview of the various activation modes of SuperReady, including Enabled mode, pre-effective scenarios, and Test Mode.

Until SuperReady becomes effective, the system continues to follow existing superannuation processing rules while displaying relevant UI indicators, validations, and configuration options to support a smooth transition. System behaviour is automatically determined by configured flags, effective dates, and Test Mode settings, ensuring users have clear visibility of SuperReady status.

Beta clients can use Test Mode to capture Qualifying Earnings (QE) and compliance checks for MVR/ MRR file uploads, reporting, and submission processes (via Ozedi) without impacting live payroll processing.

The SuperReady becomes applicable to a client based on factors such as SuperReady flags, Test Mode status, financial year-end date, legislative start date, employer effective date, and upcoming or unfinalised pay runs as explained below.

SuperReady Applicability Logic and Activation Conditions in Finance Portal

SuperReady applicability in the Finance Portal is determined based on a combination of system configuration, legislative requirements, and key dates defined in the SuperReady Setup & Authorisation.

Configuration Parameters

The following settings are used to evaluate applicability (assuming Test Mode is Off):

• SuperReady Effective Date
  • Defines the date from which SuperReady becomes active for the client.
• SuperReady Legislative Date
  • Default: 1 July 2026.
  • Represents the mandatory compliance start date as defined by legislation (maintained by the Entire OnHire team).

Applicability Evaluation Logic

Within the Finance Portal, the system determines whether SuperReady is applicable using the following sequence:

1. Financial Year-End Validation
   • If the Financial Year-End Date is earlier than the Legislative Date → SuperReady is not applicable.
   • If the Financial Year-End Date is on or after the Legislative Date → proceed to the next check.
2. Effective Date Alignment
   • If the SuperReady Effective Date is equal to the Legislative Date → SuperReady is applicable.
3. Client-Specific Effective Date Check
   • If the SuperReady Effective Date differs from the Legislative Date:
     • If the current system date (user login date in the Finance Portal) is on or after the Effective Date → SuperReady is applicable.
     • If the current system date is before the Effective Date → SuperReady is not applicable.
