This article explains how super fund information syncs between HiBob and EH Payroll, and outlines key considerations when updating or replacing super funds (regulated or self-managed).
EH Payroll retrieves super fund information from HiBob based on the USI (Unique Superannuation Identifier) — not the fund name.
To ensure accurate syncing:
Always use the correct USI code in HiBob.
Regularly review and update USI codes to keep fund details consistent between systems.
If any issues occur, contact EH Payroll Support for assistance.
If a regulated fund is already syncing and you want to replace it with a new regulated fund:
Update the fund details (including the USI) in HiBob.
During the next sync, EH Payroll will automatically overwrite the old fund details with the new regulated fund information.
No manual action is required in EH Payroll.
If you need to change from a regulated fund to a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF):
Set the USI to “SMSF” in HiBob.
The regulated fund will not be automatically removed from EH Payroll — you must manually delete the regulated fund record in EH Payroll before the SMSF will sync.
If the employee is being synced for the first time, no manual deletion is required — the SMSF will sync directly.
After syncing, complete the additional SMSF details (such as bank account, ESA, etc.) directly in EH Payroll, as SMSFs require extra setup information.
If you are switching from an SMSF to a regulated fund:
Update the USI in HiBob to match the new regulated fund.
EH Payroll will validate the USI and automatically replace the SMSF with the regulated fund during the next sync.
No manual action is required in EH Payroll.
You can add more than one fund for an employee. The allocation will follow these rules:
One fund: Allocated 100% of contributions.
Two funds:
The second fund will receive a fixed amount.
The remainder (to total 100%) will go to the first fund.
Three funds:
The second and third funds will each receive a fixed amount.
The remainder will be allocated to the first fund.
