Calculate loss of employer superannuation contributions
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the earning-capacity damages and the employer contribution percentage the lawyer has accepted, the firm-controlled tool shows the statutory maximum for lost employer superannuation and leaves the cell blank if either figure is missing. It does not write a schedule that will be filed or served.
- What the lawyer must review
- You set the percentage for each period the contributions would have been made.
- You decide whether a statutory cap applies to this claim.
- Use a firm-controlled tool. Wage, tax and care records are confidential under ASCR r 9 and APP 11.
- Decide whether a breach would be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | From the earning-capacity damages and the employer contribution percentage the lawyer has accepted, the firm-controlled tool shows the statutory maximum for lost employer superannuation and leaves the cell blank if either figure is missing. It does not write a schedule that will be filed or served. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Use the general super guarantee percentage for the period, not one rate for the whole loss.
- Do not use the Norfolk Island transitional rate.
- In New South Wales, do not apply s 15C to a Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 award or to work-injury damages under Workers Compensation Act 1987 Division 3 of Part 5.
- In Victoria, do not import a New South Wales or Queensland cap. The opened Wrongs Act table of provisions has no superannuation-damages section.
