How far back can you claim your super from your employer ? Is 12 years ago to long ? The super was not paid. Thanks

Assuming you're in Australia (from the ATO website:
Documentation if your complaint is from over 5 years ago
We may not be able to take action where the complaint is for a period that ended over 5 years ago, as employers are only required to keep employment records for 5 years.

However, if you reported your income as salary and wages, we may be able follow up a complaint for a period that ended over 5 years ago if you can provide the following as a minimum:

payslips and any other payment documentation, including payment summaries for the relevant period
super fund statements for the relevant years, plus a further 6 months.
Even with this information, there is no guarantee your complaint can be progressed
