The stapled super fund is a service that supports employers in asking the ATO to identify any stapled fund for an employee who still needs to provide their super details. A stapled super fund is an existing super account that is linked - or 'stapled'- to an individual employee. The ATO maintains this record and it will follow an employee as they change jobs.
After an employment relationship is established, if the employee’s superannuation details are not provided, the 'Request Super Stapling' button will appear on the employee's Super Fund page 21 days after the employee starts, provided they have been included in an STP event.
By selecting the ‘Request Super Stapling' button in the employee file, a request will be sent to the ATO to determine the employee's stapled super fund. The employee’s stapled superannuation details will be sent back and populated in the relevant existing superannuation fields. If this is unsuccessful, an error message will be received instead.
The status of the employee’s Super Stapled details and results (when a request has been sent) can be checked in the 'Employee Super Stapling' report.
