Construction businesses already deal with brutal cash flow.
You do the work now, pay wages now, pay suppliers now, but sometimes wait 60, 90 or even 120 days to actually get paid.
With Payday Super coming in, that pressure could get even worse.
The issue is not that business owners do not want to pay super. Many are already doing the right thing. The issue is timing.
If super needs to be paid weekly or fortnightly, but the business is still waiting months for invoices to be paid, the cash flow gap becomes very real.
For tradies, builders and construction businesses, this change could make compliance much harder.
