Pay Day Super is Coming

From 1 July 2026, employers will be required to pay super to an employee’s fund at the same time as wages are paid (i.e. “payday super”), instead of paying super quarterly in arrears.

For many businesses this will impact:

• Payroll processes (timing, workflows, software configuration)

• Cashflow planning (super moving from quarterly to more regularly)

• Compliance risk (less room for delays or manual handling)

Next Steps

With the right setup, this doesn’t need to be disruptive.

Our team is already across the change and can help you:

• Review your current payroll process and pay cycle

• Ensure your payroll software and super clearing process are configured correctly

• Map the cashflow impact and timing so there are no surprises

• Put a simple, repeatable process in place to stay compliant

We will be in touch with our clients in the coming months to make sure you’re prepared for these changes – but if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
