Shape

It’s now official: Payday Super has passed through Parliament, confirming that from 1 July 2026 employers will be required to pay super on payday.

This marks one of the biggest changes to how Australian businesses handle payroll and super payments in recent years. With the details now finalised, employers have clearer visibility, but the shift to same-day super payments still raises major questions.

That’s why in this follow-up session, Employment Hero’s Rob Dunn & Tanya Drerup will unpack what’s now been introduced in the Bill, explain the ATO’s Draft Compliance Guidance, and help you refocus your preparation with confidence.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear update on what’s changed since our last webinar
  • How the latest guidance impacts your payroll operations and compliance planning
  • Practical steps you can take now for operational and compliance changes and, to minimise risk
  • Insight and more information into Employment Hero’s HeroClear

We will be dedicating a portion of the webinar to Q&A – we encourage you to submit your questions when you register for the webinar. 

Whether you joined us previously or you’re catching up now, this session will keep you informed, prepared and ready for what comes next.
