What if the new Employee does not nominate a Super Fund?
If a new employee does not nominate a super fund, you must request their stapled super fund details from the ATO. If they don't have one or use your default fund, you must contact the employer's default fund to officially enrol them and get a valid Member ID.
Using "001" or "NEW" as a temporary or default Member ID for a new employee is a common workaround when processing payroll, but it can lead to payment rejections or duplication errors in clearing houses.
