Built for the new Payday Super rules
Effective 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay super at the same time as wages — with just seven business days for funds to receive contributions.
HeroClear helps businesses meet these new Payday Super requirements with:
- Embedded automation
- Realtime payments
- Payment confirmation
- ATO-aligned validation
- Clear, audit-ready reporting
How HeroClear works
HeroClear is an embedded, end-to-end payment processing solution in Employment Hero Payroll. It validates employee details, processes and confirms contributions automatically, and gives real-time visibility over every payment.
Validate employee details upfront
HeroClear automatically checks employee and fund information using ATO-approved validation tools and super fund registries — ensuring contributions don’t fail due to incorrect details.
Pay super instantly from payroll
Super contributions are automatically validated and processed instantly with payroll — no manual uploads, no portal hopping, no delays. Payments are automatically pulled from your bank, for speed and simplicity.
Always know where every payment stands
See the status of every contribution inside payroll. Get instant confirmation of successful payments and clear instructions or automated workflows when something needs attention.
Automate error handling and reconciliation
If a payment fails, HeroClear alerts you immediately and your guides employees to update their details — automating admin and avoiding late-payment penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — HeroClear is designed to support the upcoming 1 July 2026 Payday Super changes by automating super validation, payments, and tracking saving you time and hassle.
HeroClear goes beyond a clearing house by embedding payments and validation directly into payroll, removing the need for manual work and third-party platforms.
It checks employee fund details before money moves and instantly flags any issues, preventing failed payments and reducing the risk of SGC penalties.
HeroClear is fully embedded inside Employment Hero Payroll – eliminating separate portals, exports, or manual bank file uploads. It uses faster payment rails (like NPP/PayTo) and provides real-time status tracking and automated error resolution within your pay run.
Yes. For “Pull” methods like PayTo, dual authorisation is captured once during onboarding. For “Push” methods like bank transfers, the payment instruction appears in your bank’s approval queue after the pay run is finalised.
QE is a new, streamlined earnings base replacing the old OTE distinctions. HeroClear and EH Payroll will surface this automatically in your STP reporting each pay cycle to support earlier detection of missed SG.
BPAY settlement times are slower and do not provide real-time confirmation. Under the new 7-day receipt rule, legacy methods like BPAY increase the risk of contributions being late compared to faster rails like NPP or PayTo.
No. HeroClear is an embedded engine exclusively for Employment Hero Payroll. This integration ensures super is validated and tracked automatically within the tight 7-day window.
HeroClear is designed to receive updated registry data from funds and check details before money moves. If a fund merges and changes its USI, HeroClear will alert the employer and guide them through updating details to prevent rejections.
It supports NPP PayTo (real-time pull), Direct Debit (batch pull), and bank transfers.
No. Migration is optional. You can choose to stay with your current provider, though HeroClear offers a more automated workflow designed specifically for the 7-day rule.
