Just checking - is your business ready for Payday Super on 1 July 2026?
The change is coming fast, and there are a few key things to have in place before the deadline. Here's what to work through now:
β
Review your payroll software
Can it handle super payments every single pay cycle? Does it process via SuperStream? If you're currently using the ATO's Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH), you'll need to find an alternative - it closes 1 July 2026. Options like Xero, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB all have super payment built in.
β
Plan for cashflow
Super will no longer be a quarterly obligation - it'll be due every payrun, alongside wages. Budget for it now so you're not caught short when the change kicks in.
β
Know your deadlines
Super must reach your employee's fund within 7 business days of payday. There are a few exceptions - for example, new employees have an extended window of 20 business days for their first contribution.
β
Understand the new calculation
Super will be based on Qualifying Earnings (QE) rather than Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE). For most employees the difference is minor, but it's worth checking.
