PAYDAY SUPER WEBINAR

From July 1, 2026, Australian employers will be required to make superannuation guarantee (SG) contributions alongside salaries and wages, rather than on a quarterly basis. These contributions must be deposited into the employee’s superannuation fund within seven business days of the payday. Employers must ensure super is paid on time, in full, and to the correct fund to avoid penalties. The PayDay super legislation aims to enhance retirement outcomes by improving compounding and increasing employees’ visibility into their superannuation.

How will Payday Super affect recruiters and employers? What does the compliance roadmap look like? How will paying weekly superannuation affect recruiters’ cash flow and banking management? Are your payroll systems and software ready to adjust to the changes in pay cycles? What will happen to employee information and data accuracy?

All these questions will be answered at our PAYDAY SUPER WEBINAR. Register now!

PAYDAY SUPER FAQs

The Federal government has passed legislation that will mean employers, from 1 July 2026, will need to pay superannuation contributions at the same time as salary and wages. Known as Payday super, this is a significant shift from the current quarterly payment requirements and is designed to strengthen the superannuation system by ensuring contributions are made promptly and transparently.

The ATO’s Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will close on 1 July 2026, meaning employers that use it will have to find another way to pay super. Find out more about the closure and what you can do next.

Payday is the date that an employer makes a qualifying earnings (QE) payment to an employee. QE comprises salary, wages, salary sacrifice super contributions and any other payments that qualify for the SG.

Employers will have 7 business days to pay their employee’s super after payday. Super funds will now have 3 business days, down from 20, to allocate or return contributions – meaning that data employers send will need to be high quality.

Employers will be liable for the super guarantee charge (SGC) unless super payments are successfully received in the super fund bank account no later than 7 business days after payday (QE day).

Employers that don’t pay employees’ super in full and on time will be charged interest and penalties. Employers can face extra charges and fees if they don’t pay all super entitlements within 28 days of receiving an ATO notice.
