Under standard federal superannuation guarantee legislation, employers are generally not required to pay superannuation contributions on weekly workers' compensation payments because these insurance benefits are categorized as compensation rather than ordinary time earnings for hours worked. However, an employer may still be mandated to pay superannuation if it is explicitly required under the terms of a specific modern award, enterprise agreement (EA), or individual employment contract. Furthermore, if an injured employee returns to work on partial or modified duties, the employer is legally obligated to pay standard superannuation on the actual wages earned for those worked hours.
