📢 Payday Super Begins 1 July 2026 From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay super every payday instead of quarterly. This major reform aims to improve employee retirement outcomes but also increases employer compliance requirements. What Employers Need to Know Super must be paid with each payroll cycle. Payroll software and clearing houses will need updating. Late payments may attract the SG Charge and penalties. More frequent payments may impact business cash flow. Get Ready Before 1 July 2026 Review your payroll system, plan for cash-flow changes, and ensure your payroll or bookkeeping team understands the new requirements. Preparing early will help your business stay compliant and avoid penalties.
