A major payroll reform is on the horizon – and preparation now could save headaches later.
From 1 July 2026, Payday Super will require businesses to pay super at the same time they pay wages.
Super contributions must then be received by the employee’s super fund within 7 business days of payday.
For many businesses, this will be a significant shift from the current quarterly system.
How to prepare
Businesses can start preparing now by:
- Checking your payroll software supports Payday Super
- Reviewing how super payments are processed
- Ensuring payroll and accounting systems integrate correctly
- Updating cash flow forecasts
The aim of the reform is to ensure employees receive super more promptly and consistently. However, it will also mean businesses need stronger payroll systems and reliable cash flow management.
Planning early can make the transition much smoother.
