I believe I have been sham contracted, and super is being deducted from my base hourly rate.

Are employers obligated to pay super on top of the hourly rate, even if hired as an independent contractor?

Is there any legal loophole that allows an employer to include super in the base hourly rate, without stipulating the exact % being allocated as super?

I did the math and found that employer has been allocating 10.7% from my hourly rate as "Super". This percentage was never outlined in the contract nor agreed upon.

Thank you in advance.
