🚨 Payday Super starts 1 July 2026 — are you ready?
From next year, employers will need to pay super on each payday, not quarterly. Contributions must reach employees’ super funds within 7 business days, and super will be calculated using a new concept called qualifying earnings (QE).

This change has major implications for:

✅ Payroll systems
✅ Cash flow
✅ Compliance risk

Now is the time for employers to review their processes and plan the transition.

Read our Employer’s Guide to Payday Super to learn what’s changing and how to prepare.
