Quarterly super payments are going away. From July 2026, super must be paid on the same day as wages, and that changes how businesses need to think about payroll, cash flow, and compliance. This video explores why Payday Super is actually an opportunity to modernise how you manage super payments and how Employment Hero’s built-in super clearing solution makes real-time super payments simple, automated, and stress-free.

When superannuation rules change, your workload shouldn't have to. Payday super shouldn't mean double the admin day. And that's why we've designed a smarter and easier way to payday. Instead of treating your pay runs and super payments as separate tasks, we've brought them together in one seamless workflow.
This is made possible by HeroClear. HeroClear is Employment Hero's embedded super clearing solution built directly into our payroll platform. It's designed to reduce the work errors and uncertainty that come with more frequent super payments. Most super payment issues start with incorrect data.
In fact, the majority of failed or delayed contributions happen because employees' fund details don't match. HeroClear tackles this at the source by validating super fund details when employees are onboarded well before any pay run ever happens. And when you finalise payroll, HeroClear automatically calculates and pays super directly from within the platform. No manual uploads or exports, no logging into multiple systems and no manual chasing errors and returns.
You get real time visibility into the payment status so you know what's been processed, what's confirmed and what if anything needs attention. Validated payments are sent straight through without waiting on clearinghouse delays. The result? This means fewer follow ups, fewer surprises, and the confidence that once payroll's done, super is done too.
That's the power of system designed to make payday easier, even as the rules change. If you want to see how HeroClear works in practice, you can learn more or speak to one of our employment specialists about getting payday ready with Employment Hero.
