## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From payroll records and fund contribution receipts, calculate for each employee and each pay period which contributions were missed or late, splitting earnings paid up to 30 June 2026 (quarterly rules) from earnings paid from 1 July 2026 (each QE day), and draft the remediation plan and the employer's advice letter.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the period each shortfall falls in and the rules that apply to it, check the calculation against the payroll data, advise whether any super guarantee statement is required for quarterly periods, and decide the advice on paying the shortfall before any notice of assessment.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm the payment date of each pay run, because earnings paid from 1 July 2026 are assessed per QE day.
3. Check that contributions counted as on time were received by the fund within 7 business days after the QE day.
4. Confirm whether the ATO has already issued a notice of assessment before advising on payment.
5. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
