Payday Super Checklist

From 1 July 2026, under the Government’s current Payday Super legislation, businesses will be required to pay super contributions at the same time as wages. This marks a significant shift in how super is managed, moving from quarterly payments to aligning contributions with each pay cycle.

Super must also reach employees’ fund accounts within seven business days, a significant reduction from the current 28-day quarterly window.

For businesses, this means tighter cash flow management, far less room for error and tougher penalties if you fall behind.

While this is a significant change, the transition to Payday Super can be simple and stress free with the right preparation. This checklist will help you build confidence that your payroll system is ready to go so when the rules change you’re already set up for success
