Outstanding super contributions are rarely a priority for insolvency administrators. That's why it's even more important to protect your member's interests if their employer's business collapses.
Australian business insolvencies grew 41% in FY24. That growth is expected to continue – leading to potential financial insecurity for many more Australian employees if their employer fails to make outstanding super payments.
During this stressful period, unpaid super is not the first thing on the employer’s mind. That’s why IFS has a dedicated team of insolvency specialists. We can act in your members’ best interests to make their super entitlements are correctly calculated, prioritised as a creditor, and paid. Which means one less thing for your members to worry about during a difficult time.
What we offer
If an employer is under administration or liquidation, our specialist team will represent the Trustee and its members in dealings with the administrator.
We will actively advocate for your members, and pursue the recovery of outstanding unpaid super. This can be a lengthy process, often taking at least 12 months or in some instances longer – so rather than commit your fund’s resources and focus to insolvency, let us advocate on your behalf.
It’s a pleasure to work with the team at IFS Unpaid Super. They’re always supportive of our fund and work with us to deliver valued services that bring important benefits to our members.
When it comes to unpaid super, early intervention makes a big difference. Our specialist team will work with your fund to identify arrears, contact the employer to understand the situation and help them find a workable solution. Where payment remains outstanding, we'll refer an employer for legal action.
