Generally, all employees are eligible for super. It doesn't matter if the employee is:

- full-time, part-time or casual
- receiving a super pension or annuity while working (this includes employees on a transition to retirement (TTR) scheme)
- a temporary resident, such as a backpacker
- a company director
- a family member working in your business.
- and there are additional eligibility rules for some special types of employees.

### Domestic or private workers
