Payday Super Is Coming: What Employers Need to Know
Significant changes are on the horizon for Australian employers, with the introduction of Payday Super set to reshape how superannuation is paid.
Rather than paying super quarterly, employers will be required to pay super at the same time as wages. While the change is designed to improve outcomes for employees and reduce unpaid super, it will mean updates to payroll processes, cash flow management and compliance systems for many businesses.
To help employers prepare, we’ve added a new online information session, led by our Melbourne team, focused specifically on what Payday Super means and how to get ready.
What Is Payday Super?
Under the proposed changes, superannuation contributions will need to be paid at the same time employees are paid — not quarterly as is currently the case.
The goal is to:
Improve transparency and tracking of super payments
Reduce unpaid or underpaid super
Strengthen retirement outcomes for employees
Align super payments more closely with payroll systems
While the policy aims to simplify compliance in the long term, there may be short-term adjustments required for employers.
How Could This Impact Your Business?
Depending on your current systems and processes, Payday Super may affect:
Cash Flow Management
Moving from quarterly to per-pay-cycle super payments may change how your business manages working capital.
Payroll Processes
Your payroll software and internal processes may need reviewing to ensure super is calculated and processed accurately each pay run.
Administrative Workflows
Deadlines, reconciliation processes and record-keeping practices may need to be tightened to avoid penalties.
Compliance Risk
With super payments more closely linked to pay cycles, errors may be identified more quickly — making proactive preparation essential.
